It is required to construct a finite element model of some pipework, the main pipe has a diameter of 0.3m. In the area of interest there is a branch angled at 40 degrees to the main pipe with a diameter of 0.21m. The main pipe has a wall thickness of 0.01m and the branch wall thickness is 0.008m. An internal pressure of 123E3N/m2 will be applied. The model is to extend for 0.5m in any direction from the point of intersection of the pipe centre lines.
