Sir Dave,

Thanks for your reply,

1. Is my understanding is correct.

If selected then WL varies from (null) i.e., 0 to 1.

If not selected WL=1 ALWAYS.

2. If selected (seam welded) then WL value from where it is taken?

3. Where this WL is used in CAESAR-II calculations. (From last post you said thickness. But where that thickness is used, because user already entering the thickness value.)

4. CAESAR-II is taking the value of WC automatically from the Table 302.3.5 WELD JOINT STRENGTH REDUCTION FACTOR, then why not WL.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
