Dear all,
I have a requirement for displaying longitudinal stresses in stress output. Can I customize my stress report which includes longitudinal stresses also.

Thanks

sreesarin,

In standard reports, 'Stresses Extended' category will show the axial stress.

Since EXP load cases comply with code's rule and it doesn't contain axial stress from pressure in calculation, you cannot get longitudinal stress from it. So try load case consider pressure?

If you're running B31.1/B31.3, the "code stress" is a longitudinal stress, computed as per the "code equation" for the specific load case. Refer to the CAESAR II Quick Reference Guide, or the specific piping code for the equations.

The above comment is correct, the "Extended Stress Report" will include a column for "axial stress". However, this does not include the bending stress value.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your reply. I am using caesar 5.0 and the code required is DNV. SO is it possible to get the same.

Thanks & Regards,
Sreesarin

For the offshore Codes, there are three Code Stresses (hoop, longitudinal, and combined) and three corresponding allowables. CAESAR II determines the ratios of these three stresses and reports the governing ratio, so depending on which ratio governs, you may or may not have the longitudinal stress reported as the Code Stress.

Shame on me.. code stress is longitudinal, not the other...
Thanks for correcting it, sir.
