Modelling of Sockolet

I have a case of main header line(LNG) as 3" and branch connection of 3/4", 1/2", 11/2" and 2" for relief valve lines. All these branch connections are sockolet connections to the main header line.
I am confused about how to model a sockolet branch connection on Caesar II.
I was defining the branch connecting node as a Tee and use type unreinforced? IS this the right way to model a sockolet branch connection? If not, please recommend what is the right way to model?

Thanks

There is a socket option in the SIF/Tee tab. U may select that for sockolet....

Sockolet can be done like this:

-main line:

from 10 to 20

20 SIF weldolet

from 20 to 30

- branch

from 20 to 1000 perpendicular on main line half dia of main pipe a rigid without weight

1000 to 1010 the branch element with branch dia
1000 SIF socket weld

Please note that option 8 and 9 are socket weld not sokolet therefore a 2 element connection. This explain the way of previous model.
