I have a piping system with a guide working like anchor because the friction is high. When I modeled it as an anchor, the expansion case passed but with high axial stress at the anchor node. The report just showed stars for axial stress. The Maximum Stress Intensity is really high too, but with...
I have a question on how Caesar II calculates the bending stress at pipe elbow. I am running a pipe system with 870 F temperature and 320 psi pressure. The expansion case passed without problem, but the sustained case couldn't pass. The failed area is around the elbow and the reported bending...
