Defines the radial force that the piping system is exerting on the nozzle. If you enter a negative number, the force is considered to be compressive and is counteracted by any included pressure thrust force.

The pressure thrust force is calculated using the nozzle diameter and the shell thickness. The maximum force for the given moment includes the pressure thrust force term.
