Indicates the in-plane stress intensification factors (SIFs) for a bend or an intersection.
Specify this value for any point in the piping system by selecting SIFs & Tees on the Classic Piping Input Dialog. Type the node number to which the stress applies. Then, specify the In-Plane SIF (ii) value on the SIFs/Tees auxiliary tab.
Bending
Displays as Bending for single SIFs with the EN-13480 2017/A4 code when you select: EN-13480 2017/A4:21 for Code on the Allowable Stresses auxiliary tab and False for EN-13480/CODETI Use In-Plane/Out-Plane SIF on the Configuration Editor.

If you do not specify a value in the In-Plane SIF (ii) and Out-Plane SIF (io) boxes, the software performs code-related calculations.
