Controls how the software handles the torsion term in those codes that do not include torsion by default.

When you select Default, the software uses the currently active piping code recommendation. To force CAESAR II to include the torsion term in codes that do not include it by default, select Yes.

In a sustained stress analysis of a very hot piping system subject to creep, you should include torsion in the sustained stress calculation by using this parameter.

See Application of Torsion in Stress Calculations in The Effect of Configuration Settings on Piping Code Calculations.
