Dear Sirs,

Iam using CAESAR from last 5 yrs and we are carrying out analysis of large dia pipelines i.e more than 1000mm up to 4500mm.The pressure is of the order of 1000 to 2000mmwc.
These pipes are supported on a saddle on columns.Supporting conditions which are fed to CAESAR at fixed/ anchor support are as follows:-
Restraint X
Restraint Y
Restraint Z
Restraint RZ (Considering Z axis along the pipe axis)
We have observed that such type of supporting yields better results as compared to providing Anchor support(Which we provide for small dia pipelines),in terms of Moments.
You are requested to kindly advise regarding the correctness of the system being followed.
Reply awaited.
Regards,
S.Bakshi
