For large models, it would be convenient if you could "build" restraint types and then input the total restraint to each node.

Example:
For a particular node with a U-bolt support w/ gaps, the current method would be to input +Y, -Y w/ gap, and Guide w/ gap and friction as applicable.

Proposed Feature:
It would be nice if you could build a restraint database and create a "U-bolt w/ gap" type restraint. Then you would select this built restraint at each node instead of having to input all three separate restraints at each node.

I would argue that such a template could be size dependent. The gap on a 1" pipe would not necessarily be the same as the gap on a 4" pipe.

Though if it becomes really that tedious to do, what I currently do is I'll model the first one and just duplicate it a couple dozen times, changing dimensions, removing restraints, adding bends, etc.

True, but it'd still be easier to copy/paste the gap for a different pipe sizes compared to inputting the three restraints.

And that's true, I didn't think about that approach. I just got done modeling a 2.5 mile transfer pipe, which was done based on survey data so duplicating elements wouldn't be very easy due to the inconsistent nature of the deltas.

Although, the feature you are proposing would be certainly useful, I would like to add to Michael s response.
Another method would be to create element with long length; breaking it into multiple nodes and defining the node identifying that restraint location with Get support from node field and then editing the geometry, restraints etc. to suit.
