What would be the best way of modelling forged 16.11 T and elbow? In this case fittings are #3000 and pipe 1" XS. I thought of using rigids plus correct SIF at the pipe to fitting connection. Alternatively bends could be double flanged. I would not expect stresses within the fitting to be the problem.
