Dave Diehl,

We a still using CII 2014 7.00.01.1600 (build 141003) due to project code of Record agreements.

The API 650 nozzle option does not appear to be applying the "full-tank bulge deflection and rotation" automatically into the CII model. The last time I used this option was about 10 years ago and I recall the bulging displacements and API 650 flex. were automatically used at the nozzle.

Was there a glitch in this version or do you always have to manually input these displacements?

I specified D9 as the displacement vector and added D9 to the load cases; tried many iterations with and without some parts of the tank and with and without the D9 BUT the tank rotation does not automatically get input into the system. I exaggerated the tank data to easily spot the large rotation but NO MAS.

Is there a special trick to get this to work?
