Hi Dave,

Agreed with the option of utilizing the burdon effect in translation ( I guess this is what we use in long run pipes); But for rotation (correct me if I am going wrong), we either selcet the option of translation or rotation, we can not impliment both the options in the same model. And rotation effect, isn't it enough that we check the amount of rotation with respect to the displacement and summarise the calculation? Since this rotation issue will be mainly in bends and not at the other areas of the pipes. For this, what if we move on with the long radius bends? Still we need to check the rotation option for burdon effect?

Appriciate your reply.

Regards,
R.K.
