Dear mariog,
Yes, regarding VAL I think that I have found a conclusion but the last doubt about it is: At the point where I suppose to have a virtual anchor, I need to insert an anchor restraint or not? because If I put an anchor restraint the displacements increase a little but I think that the reply is No. Is not necessary insert an anchor restraint. Are you agree?


More complex is the topic about the modeled buried bends. I read the June 2000 Newsletter, and as Dave said,if my understanding is correct, I need to break the bends into small bends, bury only the bend and then bury the entire model. But I don't know if I understand very well it. However, If I upload here my Caesar model and if you have time, you can quickly check the model in order to verify if my modeling and output displacements are correct?

Thank you
