Just a few general queries about how Caesar approaches Fatigue Calcs.

1. Within the documentation it says that the Stress intensities are calculated and used in accordance with ASME VIII Div 2. However ASME VIII Div 2 utilises Stress Ranges not Stress Intensities. It used to use Stress Intensities but since the 2007 edition it uses Stress Ranges. does this mean Caesar is not complying with the designated code within the documentation?

2. Does Caesar actually calculate the stress intensity within a piping system correctly particularly at bends? At bends the Hoop pressure stress should be added to the calculated bending stress as the bending stress is actually in the circumferential direction. Does Caesar consider this?
