Tied Expansion Joint - 09/22/04 09:31 AM
I want to model a tied expansion joint in C2. For this, I am using C2 expansion joint modeller using Piping technology catalogue. Now as per my knowledge, a tied EJ doesnt allow axial movement. And to model this behaviour, the program puts a rigid element. But simulaneously, I observed that the axial stiffness value is very less as compared to the other stiffnesses.
Does this affect the behaviour of tied EJ modelled along the axis?
Please comment.
