I am looking for find the local primary membrane stress and primary bending stress so we can compare them to an allowable stress. Is there a way to do that? My question is in regard to API 650 P.3, or the ASME Section 8. I can find membrane stresses, but I'm not sure if they are primary or general membrane. I can also find "bending stress", but the output isn't in units that I can use to combine with the membrane stress to compare to an allowable stress.
