Activates the Schneider reduced intersection assumptions. By default, this setting is False.
It was because of observations by Schneider that much of the work on WRC 329 was started. Schneider pointed out that the code SIFs could be in error when the d/D ratio at the intersection was less than 1.0 and greater than 0.5. In this d/D range, the SIFs could be in error by a factor as high as 2.0. Using the Schneider option in CAESAR II results in a multiplication of the out of plane branch stress intensification by a number between 1 and 2 when the d/D ratio for the inter\-section is between 0.5 and 1.0. For B31.1 and other codes that do not differentiate between in and out-of-plane SIFs, the multiplication will be used for the single stress intensification given.
When B31J is enabled (through Apply B31J SIFs and Flexibilities), the software ignores this configuration option.
