Hello,
I'm getting a 245.67% stress ratio (sustained case) at an intersection node, which seems a bit high. The intersection consists of a 4" sch40 pipe with a 1" sch80 pipe branch and I've set the "SIFS & Tees" on the intersection to "8 - Socket". Attached is a screen shot of the intersection in question, the stress table, global element forces extended report, and my attempt to calculate the stress with Excel.
What am I missing?
