Hi, I have a question related to “USER-DEFINED SIFs” for Bends. Is it possible in AutoPipe to apply the user defined SIFs to only Bends (from A15N- to A15F+, in example below) without affecting the default value at A15-/A15F+? When the default SIFs have been overridden by the user specified SIFs for a Bend, it was overriding the default SIFs at the end of curvature of the bends on the joint piece side, causing a sudden high stress at these locations( end of the curvature, on line pipe side ), not at the apex of the bend. I have not figured out yet, how we can specify different SIFs for line pipe side and Bend side at same Node, like we have in the case below if we are using default SIFs . Please advise. Thanks for your support in advance.
