Hi!

I have a Nozzle with four specific allowables displacements (±X, +Y, -Y, ±Z). I modeled these displacements as Restraint GAPS with every specific direction. But I need to define more restraint conditions (Rotation restraints) to attach the manufacturer specifications. CAESAR only can define four restraints for each node. ¿How can I define more than four restraints?

Thank you very much!

You can do this by opening input spreadsheet for some other node, couble click the restraints there and specifying supports for the node in question where you need the supports. In this spreadsheet, for supports you would give the node number of the node where you want to give addtional supports.

On other element screen. Important is that you define the restraint for the node you want.
