Modeling EZ-Line Supports - 06/25/15 09:01 AM

Just curious as to how everyone models their EZ-Line supports (CSB & GSB).

When creating my models I will set a Guide, -Z, and +Z for each support so that I can add the steel to steel friction on the bottom, and the steel to liner friction on the guide and -Z restraints. Also, when I model GSB supports I include the gap associated with each model.

Does anyone model a gap of any kind for CSB supports to account for any compression in the liner?

all Ez-line support with totally no pipe contact with support, Shim block and clamp had been isolated by liner
such as, PVC, FRP. PTFE, Viblon, It is really depend which liner you had picked,
