You need to perpendicular restraints which are both perpendicular to the pipe axis. You can do this by specifying "direction cosines" for the restraint directions. If you're having trouble figuring this out, let CAESAR II do it for you. Code your pipe along the closest global axis, specify the two restraints, then use the "LIST" to "block rotate" the appropriate pipes to the proper orientation. The restraints will also be rotated. When the operation is complete, check to cosines to verify what was done.
