Hi

I need some help regarding statics analysis of piping on Caesar II. The problem I am facing is that the piping loop satisfies the Operating Load Case (W+T+P+F) but shows overstressed nodes in Sustained Load Case (W+F+P).

The question is why a piping loop satisfies Operating case including parameter of T but fails in Sustained Case?

Waiting for early replies

Thanks
