Hello, please be patient about my English grammar.
I really appreciate if you can help me with next question.

I have Caesar version V4.40 and this is the first time that I use hydro test pressure tool, I have a problem with stress results of that test, because a lot of bending appear. My Pipe is underground and has restrains according with Cesar’s soil modeler. My question is:

Why stress results of hydro test are bad (bending stress)?,
because when I run a similar case not using hydro test pressure but using P1 = test pressure, I get a good results.

Thanks a lot.
