I am working a complex assembly that will have expansion joints and snubbers. Some pipes are break out spools and there are different fluid densities so I have 8 models. There are 32 operating profiles in each model. Expansion joint and snubber movements need to be checked.

Is there a tool that will let me compare rotation between two elements more quickly than a case-by-case check using the expansion joint tool? Am I stuck manually coding law of cosines into Excel?

Is there a function that will let me measure two points relative distance for all cases in a model? Am I stuck manually coding distance formula for each snubber in each "restraint summary extended"?
