Forum Post: RE: How is the "Bourdon effect" evaluated by the software when this option is enabled?

Hello Diana abdulhameed, The bourdon effect applies to the pressure extension load cases for the model on bends. Could you confirm that the Calculate Pressure Extension Cases checkbox is checked? To apply the bourdon effect on sustained code compliance stresses, ensure the "Inc. Axial, Pcase in Sus." checkbox in the Result Model Options is checked. Best Josh Taylor
