Dear all,
I' don't know if it's the right thread to write this; I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
Is there anyone who can clarify the following request? If I've to analyze a system in which I've to consider displacements, how can I create the cases regarding hanger design?
Example
W+P1-->SUS
W+P1+D1+D3+T1-->OPE
W+P1+D1+D4+T1-->OPE
W+P1+D1+D5+T1-->OPE
W+P1+D2+D3+T1-->OPE
W+P1+D2+D4+T1-->OPE
W+P1+D2+D5+T1-->OPE

where D1 and D2 come from thermal displacements, D3 D4 D5 are due to structure movements.

So the conditions for hanger design is:

W-->HGR
W+P1+T1-->HRG
W+P1-->SUS
W+P1+D1+D3+T1+H-->OPE
W+P1+D1+D4+T1+H-->OPE
W+P1+D1+D5+T1+H-->OPE
W+P1+D2+D3+T1+H-->OPE
W+P1+D2+D4+T1+H-->OPE
W+P1+D2+D5+T1+H-->OPE

Is it right? Or I've to do in the following way:
W-->HGR
W+P1+D1+D3+T1+H-->HGR
W+P1+D1+D4+T1+H-->HGR
W+P1+D1+D5+T1+H-->HGR
W+P1+D2+D3+T1+H-->HGR
W+P1+D2+D4+T1+H-->HGR
W+P1+D2+D5+T1+H-->HGR
W+P1-->SUS
W+P1+D1+D3+T1+H-->OPE
W+P1+D1+D4+T1+H-->OPE
W+P1+D1+D5+T1+H-->OPE
W+P1+D2+D3+T1+H-->OPE
W+P1+D2+D4+T1+H-->OPE
W+P1+D2+D5+T1+H-->OPE

I hope someone can help me to solve my doubt and I'm sorry if it can appear stupid.

Best Regards
