Dear Friends

Thanks in advance

The default hanger design typically performed assumes the dead weight is equal to the hot load. Check the discussion on Hanger Design in the Technical Reference for details.

But In Caesar II 5.10 technical Reference Manual......( chapter 3, Page 44)
It says--
Hot Load is operating load and cold load is installation load...
please clarify.....

You're taking things out of context here. Please see the discussion starting on page 6-10.
