Problem:

The following is displayed when using AutoPIPE

* * * W A R N I N G - MODEL * * *

    W2164-126:B31 App J: Crotch thickness is less than or equal to zero for the tee(s)                                                                                                                                      

Why and How to avoid it?

Solution:

This warning refers to a value required by ASME B31J to perform the analysis. 

If this value remains blank or below the threshold required, then the message will continue to appear. 

Avoidance:

Open the tee dialog, select the type of tee from the drop down selection, and update any values as necessary. Or, open Tee input grids and fill in any blank / under threshold values as needed.
