Problem:

Software did not report complete code check for 2 nozzles (V1, B1) mounted on top head. It just analyzed these nozzles in accordance with WRC however it is missing the UG37, UG40, UG45 in accordance with ASME VIII.

Solution:

We observed that caps are not pressure bearing components, see snap below,

But there is a bug in current version and you cannot set a Cap to pressure bearing component directly.

First change Cap to any other Head type and set as pressure bearing component,

Again change it back to Cap, this will keep the cap pressure bearing component and you can see the complete nozzle design check in the report.

This bug is already in consideration and will be fixed in coming future release.
