Hi friends,

All thanks for your help...now i have my questions regarding these factors in context with caesar II...

1) The flexibility factor and SIF are already defined in caesar ii for carbon steel pipes. what about pipes of other materials; for example GRP.

2) If i weld dummy leg to the bend extrados, the stiffness is changed due to this attachment. Do caesar ii automatically caters this chnage in stiffness or i have to change value of k by myself.

3) If the flanges are attached to the end of elbows ar both sides; the flexibility factor must be changed. Do caesar ii automatically caters this or again i need to chnage flexibility factor manually by myself.

Thanks
