Check the RCC -M criteria. These include:

  • some fatigue criteria for ZE200 in post-processing calculations on pipes (with or without environmental effects),

  • fatigue criteria for the B3600 in post-processing of pipe calculations,

  • d a moment criterion equivalent to the B3600 in post-processing of pipe calculations,

  • B3200 level 0 and level A criteria (with or without environmental effects) in post-processing calculations on 2D or 3D structures;.

Level 0 criteria aim to protect the material from damage caused by excessive deformation, elastic, elastoplastic, or plastic instability. Level A criteria aim to protect the equipment against damage caused by progressive deformation and fatigue. Fatigue damage can also be calculated by taking into account the effects of the environment REP (recent modification of RCC -M by AFCEN).

When entering the POST_RCCM command, you must specify:

  • or tables of constraints on an analysis segment resulting from finite element calculations (TYPE_RESU_MECA =” EVOLUTION “and TYPE_RESU_MECA =”B3200”);

  • is the result of calculations on a pipe line (TYPE_RESU_MECA =”B3600”).

be the result of calculations on a pipe line*and stress tables from finite element calculations (TYPE_RESU_MECA =” ZE200a “and TYPE_RESU_MECA =” ZE200b”);

Produces a table-like data structure.

Before first use, it is strongly recommended to refer to the reference documents [R7.04.03] and advice [U2.09.03].
