FRP/ GRE Flange Leakage Check

I am currently conducting a stress analysis of a fiberglass FRP/GRE piping system using CAESAR II software.
As part of the analysis, I need to perform a flange leakage check.
Could you please advise on how to carry out this check, either using the software or manually, and which method should be employed (Peq or NC) ?
Please help ?

A flange leakage check is just an evaluation of the forces and moments imposed on a flange pair to see if the flange has a high potential to leak because of these imposed moments and forces. It should be an automatic software check/report that you probably activate with a check box - at least that is how it is done in Autopipe, I assume CSII would be similar.

Hexagon documentation can sometimes be marginally helpful:
