hello. gud morning to all.......sorry to ask this dumb question. im just new to caesar.
i did a stress analysis for a burried piping and here is the report;
RESTR REPORT: Loads on Restraints
CASE 1 (OPE) W+T1+P1
NODE Fx Fy Fz Resu.Force Mx My Mz Resu.Moment Restraint Type
lb lb lb lb ftlb ftlb ftlb ftlb
100 -1097 14 7254 737 0 0 0 0 Bi-linear X2
100 522 0 79 528 0 0 0 0 Bi-linear X2
100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bi-linear X2
The questions are:
Why there are three nodes reflected in the reports. What are these forces?
I also noticed that the resultant forces are always positive eventhough there are negative forces.
Hope you could help me with this, many thanks.
