In my case, I am routing one big bore pipe size and
want to restraint 2 small bore pipes with the big size.
The BOP of pipes are in the same level and tieing
with a U-bolt. It is piping network and I could not
separate the model as the movement of the big one
shall effect to the small one.

I think my model is equivalet to "Restraint Between
Two Pipes Using CNodes" and "Restraint Between
Vessel and Pipe Models"

But when I input the CNode number into the
spreadsheet, the nodes in the piping model will jump
to same position.

Can you please explain more what I should do ?

Thank you and Best Regards,

you have to disable "Connect Geometry Through
CNodes" in caesar configuration.

Hello all,

I want to model an existing
pipe in a piperack and use
CNODES to impart a 3"
vertical upward deflection
to simulate lifting a portion
of the pipe with come-
alongs. There are no
thermal stresses being
considered, just trying to
see what stresses are
induced by lifting a portion
of the pipe to make some
repairs. The geometry at
the point of consideration
is a 4" teeing into an 8"
which also has a 12"
branch. I need to lift the 4"
portion of the line 3 inches
and want to make sure I
do not overstress any

portion of the line(s). My
question: Is CNODES the
best way to model this 3"
vertical displacement? If
not, please suggest
alternatives.

Thanks in advance,

You really don't have to
use CNODES, you can just
displace the pipe nodes
upward 3".

Just a point of order.
Quote " a 4" teeing into an
8" which also has a 12"
branch". I understand a 4"
teeing into an 8" but how
can the 8" or the 4" have a
12" branch???

richay - If you model the
nodes 3 inches upward,
doesn't that just simulate
the pipe being 3 inches
higher relative to the
ground? How would that
capture the induced
deflection stresses? Or,
maybe I am
misunderstanding your

suggestion of "...just

upward..."

DSB123 - yeah I knew
someone would have a
problem with the wording
of my post. Remember, I
am a structural guy not a
pipe guy. There is a
reducing tee which
connects the 4" to the 8"
which explains the 4" line.
There is also another tee
which is an 8"x8"x8";
however, the branch
portion I was talking about
is further downstream
where the 8" swedges up
to a 12"...I was
(incorrectly) calling that a
12" branch.

I meant:

- check the checkbox for
"imposed displacements"
- in the resulting dialog,
specify the node number
and the magnitude of the
desired displacement in the
appropriate DOFs.

- later, when setting up
load cases,
apply
the defined displacement
vector in the desired load
cases.
