Hi... I need to get o mechanical elements in nozzles of equipment, but CAESAR II give 28 Lb, 5 Lb, 1.5 Lb and Never give me "O" value ? What is the problem... don't exit the zero value ?

CAESAR II determines the system deflections at the node points using [K]{x} = {f}. From these displacements element force, element moments, and restraint reactions are determined. If you don't like the resulting loads on your nozzles, you need to either add more flexibility to your model (if the problem is due to Secondary loads), or add more supports (if the problem is due to Primary loads).

CAESAR II will not redesign the piping system for you.

Hi.. Thank you for answer, but my question was more deep... About flex analysis I don´t know your experience, but I know that CAESAR II it only a soft... The know-how is mine... Like your answer i say you that read the question with more detail.. don't respond sunddenly... When I say you that the soft don't give me zero value... is because I have made all necesary for the results are "0"... But the soft don't make this.... (supports, Expansion Joints, Hangers, etc, etc...)... I don't make it manually... I pay 12,000 DLLS for caesar licence..
