Dear All,

We have to analysis lot of large bore piping connected to long tower ( coker fractionator) where most of the supports are taken from tower. We have received horizontal sway of vessel at different elevation from Vessel group.

As we have modeled the tower and clip supports are connected with tower through C-node, I am not able to introduce sway displacement on those supports.

Especially, some lines are there which are connected to another long tower with all clip supports. both tower have different sway and out-of phase value is high and varying with elevation.

How to simulate both thermal and wind/Semitic sway simultaneously ?
need advise from Caesar-II experts.

Regards,
SKoley

In my opinon introduce the sway in the centreline elements of column and not the support clips...
