Main window ribbon: Home > FEA Tools > FEA Translation 
Opens the model in the CAESAR II FEA Translator. The translator incorporates finite element analysis into your pipe stress analysis. You can calculate and apply more relevant FEA-based SIFs and flexibilities (k factors) for branch connections.
For more information on using FEA tools to perform finite element analysis, see the FEATools User Manual.
The definition of in-plane and out-plane SIFs in a tee might change in the translated CAESAR II model based on the orientation of elements forming the tee. For more information, see In-Plane and Out-Plane SIFs After FEA Translation.
