I was looking over the notes on the static load case editor and noticed the part about being able to change the multiplier on friction and the behaviour of spring hangers.

Being able to take the spring as a rigid support certainly looks to be useful, particularly for checking pump systems. However, I see the option to ignore the spring support altogether. I imagine sombody requested this feature, but I'm having trouble thinking up a case where I would want to ignore the spring loads.

Does anyone have an example?
