Dear Siv,

Thanks for your explaination. "restraint summary shows you the loads imposed by piping on support and the local element forces show the support's reaction" has opened my mind :))he..

I ask about this since I have pipe 1.8 km in length and run "not" in major global coordinate. And the allowable load on support available in local coordinate f vertical, f axial, and f lateral.

So now, I just need to sum the local force fx, fy, fz for nodes and compare to allowable.

Why CAESAR does not make one more report option, let say it as "Local Restrain Report" and also give the summation at nodes :)if has 2 support type there. So very easy to compare to allowable especially to those run not in major global coordinate.
