Quoting
Other items which influence the accuracy of these
models are:
Uncertainty of stiffness (six degrees of freedom) of
clamps/hold downs and supporting structure
Difficulty in accurately predicting coefficients of friction
Nonlinear effects (e.g., gaps closing due to thermal growth)
Uncertainty of as-built piping layout and dimensions,
weights, etc.
Difficulty and complexity of modeling rack support structure
Uncertainties in soil stiffness effects on concrete piers
Settling of supports resulting in loss of piping contact

Mass Distribution
In the earlier example extra nodes were added so that
maximum spacing between nodes was less than 1
foot per nominal inch (using the Break command)
Natural frequencies calculation used the Consistent
