I found a strange hanger assembly in the field. A constant support with a variable spring between the constant support and the piping. The Constants design load is 10,000 lbs and the variable is reading approximatly 900 lbs. Has anybody out there modeled such a support? The constant is almost bottomed out cold (ideally moving up when hot) and the variable is at mid range. Somehow, using cnode, I will have to connect them together. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
