Hi all,

I used a spring can at the discharge of the pump line. I have a couple of questions regarding the modelling of the spring can in CAESAR II:

1. Since the pipe will slide on the spring can when the pipe is hot, there should be a friction force. It seems CAESAR doesn't consider this friction force. Don't know if I am right or not on this.

2. The calculated pipe movement in Y direction at the spring can is higher than it should be which causes +Y force at the pump nozzle in the oprerating condition (the spring can is designed for hot load). Is this right? How to reduce this +Y force at the nozzle by modelling the spring can?
