Problem:

The following is displayed when performing a model consistency check report:

* * * W A R N I N G - MODEL * * *
W2143-7: The joint information of User SIF or flange will be ignored at following point(s)

Why is that and how to Avoid it?

Solution:

Please see the following AutoPIPE help section:

Help > Contents> Contents Tab> Bentley AutoPIPE> Command Reference> Insert Command> Piping Component Group> Bend Points> Bend Type> Pulled bend....

This warning was added in AutoPIPE 9.0.0.8 under the following enhancement TFS-E130802: Add "Pulled" option to bend type. The application would still use the User specified SIF values at the bend's Near and Far node points when calculating stresses.

Modeling Approach:

See WIKI here.

Avoidance:

Ignore message

or 

Remove User SIF from all bend Near and Far node points when bend is set to Pulled.
