Upon reviewing the Hanger report in AutoPIPE, AutoPIPE automatically selects a spring, defined by the asrisk (*) in the report. When there are mutliple options for 1 spring, it seems to always select that spring which has the greatest variation in hot vs cold load, provided it is within the defined allowable range (default 25%).
This seems strange. Why doesnt AutoPIPE select the spring with the smallest variation? Wouldnt that make more sense, as it will yield a better operation of the spring? Or am I missing something?
