Controls the stress intensification factor for bends. Previously this was not permitted, and the code-defined SIF was always used. To override the code’s calculated SIF for bends, select True. The user-defined SIF acts over the entire bend curvature and must be specified at the To end of the bend element. The default setting is False.

When B31J is enabled (through Apply B31J SIFs and Flexibilities), the software ignores this configuration option.
