CORTES is a package consisting of five finite element programs developed for the stress analysis of ANSI Bl6.9 tee joints. The five programs are: SA, the stress analysis program which analyzes pipe joints for the effects of internal pressure and arbitrary combinations of bending moment, torsional moment, axial force, and sheer force on the ends of the branch and run pipes. A limited temperature stress analysis capability is provided. EP, the elasto-plastic stress analysis program which analyzes pipe joints for the effects of internal pressure and arbitrary combinations of forces, including moments, and displacements, including rotations, imposed on the ends of the run and branch pipes. THFA, the transient heat flow analysis program which determines the time history of temperature variations in the pipe joints. Temperature changes are specified at the inner surface, and a heat flow analysis is performed assuming a perfectly insulated outer surface. SHFA, the steady-state heat flow analysis program which determines the steady-state temperature distribution in pipe joints. Temperatures are specified on given cross-sections of the branch and run portions of the tee joint, and the temperature distribution throughout the remainder of the joint is calculated assuming the inner and outer surfaces are perfectly insulated. TSA, accepts as input, the output data from THFA or SHFA and performs the thermal stress analysis on the pipe joints.IBM360,370; FORTRAN IV; OS/360; All five programs use card input and a line printer. Execution of the SA test problem required 960K bytes of memory and 12 scratch disk units. The TSA test case used 880K bytes of memory and 11 scratch disk units.
