Has anyone ever made the S301 example of B31.3 2020 appendix S in SI units? The axial force results are quite different from the results of the standard, however the horizontal displacements are correct. The examples provided by the autopipe software are from the 2018 version of ASME B31.3.
NO we have not done this yet. Our 2018 SI results matched well, but with the new code using B31J we will need to look at this again
