Dear all:

when shall we need to consider the friction during we design for piping supports with CAESAR II ? especially for Guide support,when we give the gap,if we may not consider the friction? on the contary, if we canno't give the gap, will it mean the gap is zero,so we need to consider the friction?

Use the [Search] option (to the right, just above the Calendar), and search for the word "Friction". You'll find a great deal of information on this topic.
