Dear all,

I want to model a fabricated tee with a reinforcing pad in Caesar II and have some doubts when calculating SIF for branch connection.I donīt know what are exactly these two parameters: the fitting outside radius and the crotch radius.

I have looked for it in ASME B31.1 Appendix D and it doesnīt appear. There are examples for weldolets or similar but not for reinforced fabricated tees with a pad. Any help?

Thank you in advance.
