Dear Dave,

While we see the "restraints summary extended" report in case L3(L1-L2),
The "sign" of vertical force vector is always same as the vertical displacement vector.In case L3 (EXP), my understanding is that there will be some liftup (dy=+value) resulted from thermal force is positive and it is indeed.
So I think the restraints summary extened report in case L3 is still helpful for me to see how the piping system deforms and get an appropriate
explanation.
However , in "Hot sustained" case , I can't understand what's the meaning.
If we ignore the restraints report and just check stress in "Hot sustained" case , maybe it should be reported individually by CII.

Best regards,
