Chapter VIII Hangers
Connecting nodes
associated with hangers
and cans function just
like connecting nodes
with restraints.
Connecting node
displacements are
incorporated in the
hanger design algorithm.
Rigid element
In this configuration, freeing the anchors at 5 and 60 didn’t help the thermal case nozzle loads.
It was postulated that, due to the stiffness of the overhead branches, the hanger calculated hot
load was not sufficient. The calculated hot load was 2376 lb. A new hot load of 4500 lb. is tried
here.
The gap field in the restraints auxiliary data area rounds off values to 3 decimal
places for display only. Internally, CAESAR II stores values to 7 digits for
calculations. Therefore the gap corresponding to the -Y restraint in this example
was input as 0.4346 + 9.1e-06 and this value will be retained in memory for
calculations.
