Computes intersection stress intensification factors (SIFs) for any of the three-pipe type intersections available in CAESAR II. To begin, specify a new job name in the New Job Name Specification dialog box or click Browse to navigate to an existing job file.
All CAESAR II analyses require a job name for identification purposes. After you create or open a job, you can enter input data and then define, analyze, and review your data.
The software opens the Intersection Stress Intensification Factors window.
Enter the necessary problem-specific data in the input fields, and then click Run Analysis to run the analysis. After processing is complete, stress intensification factors are reported for a range of different configuration values on the Output tab, as shown below.
