I have a client who has pipe clamps welded to the steel supports. Please see the attached pic.
I'd like to hear some opinions on how to model this in Caesar. I don't believe it should be a true limit restraint in most applications, but might be one in this certain application.
8 Inch SA312 304 piping SCH 10S
Air Line < 15 psig @ <100 deg F (Ambient, non insulated)
Anvil Fig 212 CS Clamp which client says they have a rubber in between pipe and clamp.
Option 1:
---------
Vertical and Guide Restraints with relatively high coefficient of friction
Option 2:
---------
Vertical and Guide Restraints, Limit Restraints with relatively high stiffness.
Opinions greatly appreciated.
