Problem:

The following is displayed when using AutoPIPE

---------------------------
Warning
---------------------------
W165-5:  The tee at point A05   does not meet the conditions to
apply the equations for SIF and other stress indices for the
selected tee type because the tee has more than 3 legs. It has
been reset to "Other" tee type.
---------------------------
OK

Why and How to avoid it?

Solution:

This message serves as a notification to the user. Following the insertion of the last run, the dialog appeared. Please take a moment to review the entire message.

To summarize, the initial Tee Type (ex. Fitting) has been automatically reset, and the Tee Type is now designated as "Other" with SIFs set to 1.00. The user is advised to access this Tee dialog and adjust the SIFs as necessary.

This message will only appear whenever making a tee with more than 3 legs. The message will not be printed on the Model Consistency check report. However, the following message will be printed:

"W726-10:  User SIF required at junction at following point(s)"

This W726-10 message will always be printed in the model consistency report. Again, it is just a warning message and can be ignored if you have addressed the issue.
