Dear Users and Customer Service,

I`m using Caesar for the first time, during a pipe analysis based on ASME ND-Code two questions occured.

1.) A maximum Stress was located in a pipe bend, and I have not been able to confirm the results of the dynamic data output by a simple calculation by hand. Please look at the the attached document, which includes data output and calculation on two pages. The results show a difference of about 12%. According to the "Quick reference guide", chapter code stresses, you pretended to use the ASME formulas. Why is there a difference, in my opinion the values should correlate exactly?

2.) Isn`t it irritating to feature only SIF-Values in the dynamic data output although the following Code-Stress-determination is based on B1, B2 - Indices (so as the determination of allowables). Wouldnt it be helpful to feature the values of B1, B2 ?

Kind Regards, Rick
