Hi All, I am trying to model an EJ using the vendor catalog and drawing provided by the vendor. The vendor has provided weight of the EJ assembly. I am trying to understand how to incorporate that weight of the EJ in my analysis. I was thinking CII takes care of weight itself considering size of the pipe, but I was also thinking, it could vary based on EJ construction etc. Can someone guide how to incorporate EJ weight when modelling and EJ? Please note I am not using EJ Modeller but I am manually adding an EJ but checking the EJ box on input dialog. Thanks.
