Loc: Houston, In the example you reference, the element's delta
Texas, USA dimensions (DX and DY) are necessary to go from the
base node (205) to the bend mid point node (84).
However, node (84) is on the centerline, which is not
really the correct attachment location. The computation of
the dimensional correction to get from the centerline to
the actual attachment location is shown in the figure on
the next page (in the Applications Guide). These
corrections are defined in the input using the "Offset"
dialog.

Thanks Mr. Ay, Just a follow up, is it OK for the dummy to
Member appear inclined on the plot window (due to DX=4.390 in
the example shown on the Application Guide) ?

Dear Mr.Richard,
Member
I digged out the old query and want the confirmation
Registered:
06/06/09 again from the highly inspired person (Mr.Richard).
Posts: 126
Loc: Australia As per Caesar-II Aplication Guide, i modeled the
trunnion/dummy support as per offset method. In the plot
the dummy support is shown as tilted with reference to
the (X,Y & Z coordinates) Refer attachment. Is it mean,
the input as per offset method is correct even if the plot
shows as a tilted dummy.
Since it is been long ago, the query was rised, is it still the
plot for offset dummy was not updated after several
revision of Caesar-II.
Thankyou.

There is nothing to update or change here, unless we
completely replace the "modeling methodology" we use
(in the Piping Input Processor) for bends.

Loc:
Philippines As compared to the one modeled by "sillyman" (post

going outward while the other inward.
please confirm if what i've done is correct..and if not,

where i went wrong..

Hello Stressers
Member I have one additional question to this type of support like
Registered: dummy leg.
07/25/16 If I gave on the second end of support an anchor.
Posts: 83
Loc: Poland What is the difference if I connected this anchor to CNode
or if I stay it without CNode.
Because in my case I have situation that if I give a CNode
the system is correct, if not I have exceeded allowable
stress !!!
Why ??

Ay This depends on what you did with the CNODE. If you

displacements), then that anchor isn't doing anything and

1) The node you are trying to restrain is 10000.
Registered:
12/13/99
Posts: 5816 2) If you add a restraint (anchor) at 10000, you have
Loc: Houston, fixed node 10000 in global space.
Texas, USA
3) If you add a restraint (anchor) at 10000, but define a
CNODE (say 10001), then you have anchored node 10000
to 10001. So, what did you do with 10001? If the answer
is nothing, then 10001 is free and therefore so is 10000.
You must use 10001 as another node in your piping
system, or apply displacements to 10001.

I received information that on this bend I have a anchor
Registered:
07/25/16 point.
Posts: 83 Additional question.
Loc: Poland I anchored a node 10000 so the and a element from node
10000 to 240 is rigid as on the picture this is correct
thinking or something should be changed ???
Because of course in anchor point displacements are 0 but
in point 240 I have some displacement so it that means
that rigid element can move on the end connected to bend
??

Dear Intergraph Experts
Member I have a question becasue in standard in Polish to use the
trunnion on the elbow we should at a first step weld a pad
Registered:
07/25/16 to elbow.
Posts: 83 So this is simple to do in Caesar II becasue we can add a
Loc: Poland fitting thickness.
But when we had a welded a piece of pipe we have
something like a "Tee"
and in my opinion we should ad a SIF in this place !!
Is this is correct thinking ??
If Yes what kind of SIF we should implement ??
Thanks for Help

Adrian,

You can calculate these SIFs using FE/Pipe.
Registered: 01/29/10
Posts: 488 Generally, there are 4 SIFs in this case at present
Loc: Louisiana, US time. In-plane/out-plane for the elbow, and in-
plane/out-plane for the trunnion.
SIFs will vary wildly dependent on geometry.

Alternatively, you could use the "SIF @ Bend" tool
Member under the "Analysis" tool. However, it has
limitations on ratios of sizes and thicknesses, and I
Registered: 01/29/10
Posts: 488 find that most of the time it generates extremely
Loc: Louisiana, US conservative SIFs compared to FEA, and only
sometimes it generates slightly non-conservative
SIFs.
In addition, you could ignore the SIFs and model it

within FEA software (there are free versions out
there), but I can't attest to their ease of use or
accuracy of solver.
