Problem:

When calculating SIF / SCF values per DNV-RP-C203, and entering them manually into AutoPIPE, will an analysis per DNV-2012 in AutoPIPE consider these factors? 

Solution:

Our interpretation DNV 2012 ASD check is that un-intensified bending moments are used for ASD calculations. We are waiting for a response from DNV on ASD Stress Intensification Factor code interpretation.
