When multiple displacement stress cases are defined, CSiPlant automatically performs the range cases between them to determine the controlling displacement load case.
Built-in temperature-dependent material property libraries with stress allowables for each design code
ASME B31.3 minimum temperature design curves for carbon steel to avoid impact testing.
Stresses and element forces & moments are calculated and reported at multiple stations along the length of each element, not just at meshed point/node locations.
