Hi everybody!
Suppose I have a CAESAR model, consisting of pipe model and structural model (something like baseframe) combined via CNODes. What is the most correct way to get restraint loads from baseframe to foundation - do I need to assign alpha coefficients for structural members in structural input for every temperature case (in this case I take into account thermal expansion not only for pipes, but for the baseframe also) or not to assign? If I assign alphas (for example 0.333 mm/m for temperature range of 30 deg celsius) for structural members, I get very high restraint loads for baseframe anchors.

Thanks
