How to set up 'shell' element for a plain Tee effectively for piping stresses

it seems no effective contact between tee and pipes after meshing if only global bonded contact set.

any suggestion? thanks

Jin,

take the mid-surface for the Tee and pipe
right click and provide the thickness
apply bonded contact between the edges of Tee and pipe
