&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Problem: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left:60px;"&gt;How to model a vertically pipe supported by a Pipe clamp and spring supports as shown below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2626.1.png"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2626.1.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="margin-left:0px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Solution:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;There are a few method of modeling this type of support:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Simple Method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;A. Model the vertical pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;B. Insert a node at the vertical elevation where the steel is connected to the pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;C. insert a Spring support with the correct spring Cold load, Spring Rate, and number of Springs as indicated below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2068.3.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/540x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2068.3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Detailed Method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;A. Model the vertical pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;B. Insert a node at the vertical elevation where the steel is connected to the pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;C. Insert Rigid Beam from the Center of the pipe to the outside surface of the vertical pipe in one direction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7762.a.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7762.a.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;D. Insert a Second Rigid Beam from the&amp;nbsp;Center of the pipe to the outside surface of the vertical pipe in opposite direction. Indicated below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7271.b.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7271.b.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;E. Insert a new Beam ID whose properties match the steel used in fabrication of the support:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;F, At the end of each rigid beam modeled to the out side surface of the vertical pipe from step above, insert a new beam with the correct length to the spring support location, apply the new beam property:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3073.e.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/440x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3073.e.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7282.c.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7282.c.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;G. At the ends of both Beams &amp;nbsp;insert a spring support with the correct settings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/d.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/d.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;H. Review Beam Stress sub report.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:0px;padding-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Notes: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:0px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;1. This&amp;nbsp;modeling approach does not model clamping force or fiction resulting from the pipe clamp itself around the pipe. This modeling approach assumes that the pipe clamp will never slide on the vertical pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:0px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;2. If the beams above were replaced with actual piping segments, Insert&amp;gt; Xtra Data &amp;gt; Reference Points&amp;gt; with &amp;quot;Report Reference Point Results to AutoPIPE Nozzle/AutoPIPE Vessel&amp;quot; check-box Enable, then the loads can be automatically exported to AutoPIPE Nozzle for further design analysis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;There are a few method of modeling this type of support:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Simple Method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;A. Model the vertical pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;B. Insert a node at the vertical elevation where the steel is connected to the pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;C. insert a Spring support with the correct spring Cold load, Spring Rate, and number of Springs as indicated below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2068.3.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/540x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2068.3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Detailed Method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;A. Model the vertical pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;B. Insert a node at the vertical elevation where the steel is connected to the pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;C. Insert Rigid Beam from the Center of the pipe to the outside surface of the vertical pipe in one direction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7762.a.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7762.a.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;D. Insert a Second Rigid Beam from the&amp;nbsp;Center of the pipe to the outside surface of the vertical pipe in opposite direction. Indicated below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7271.b.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7271.b.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;E. Insert a new Beam ID whose properties match the steel used in fabrication of the support:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;F, At the end of each rigid beam modeled to the out side surface of the vertical pipe from step above, insert a new beam with the correct length to the spring support location, apply the new beam property:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3073.e.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/440x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3073.e.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;G. At the ends of both Beams &amp;nbsp;insert a spring support with the correct settings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/d.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/d.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;H. Review Beam Stress sub report.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:0px;padding-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Notes: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:0px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;1. This&amp;nbsp;modeling approach does not model clamping force or fiction resulting from the pipe clamp itself around the pipe. This modeling approach assumes that the pipe clamp will never slide on the vertical pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:0px;padding-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;2. if the beams above were replaced with actual piping segments, Insert&amp;gt; Xtra Data &amp;gt; Reference Points&amp;gt; with &amp;quot;Report Reference Point Results to AutoPIPE Nozzle/AutoPIPE Vessel&amp;quot; check-box Enable, then the loads can be automatically exported to AutoPIPE Nozzle for further design analysis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;There are a few method of modeling this type of support:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Simple Method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;A. Model the vertical pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;B. Insert a node at the vertical elevation where the steel is connected to the pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;C. insert a Spring support with the correct spring Cold load, Spring Rate, and number of Springs as indicated below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2068.3.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/540x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2068.3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Detailed Method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;A. Model the vertical pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;B. Insert a node at the vertical elevation where the steel is connected to the pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;C. Insert Rigid Beam from the Center of the pipe to the outside surface of the vertical pipe in one direction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7762.a.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7762.a.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;D. Insert a Second Rigid Beam from the&amp;nbsp;Center of the pipe to the outside surface of the vertical pipe in opposite direction. Indicated below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7271.b.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7271.b.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;E. Insert a new Beam ID whose properties match the steel used in fabrication of the support:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;F, At the end of each rigid beam modeled to the out side surface of the vertical pipe from step above, insert a new beam with the correct length to the spring support location, apply the new beam property:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3073.e.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/440x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3073.e.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;G. At the ends of both Beams &amp;nbsp;insert a spring support with the correct settings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/d.png"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/d.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;H. Review Beam Stress sub report.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Note: if the beams above were replaced with actual piping segments, Insert&amp;gt; Xtra Data &amp;gt; Reference Points&amp;gt; with &amp;quot;Report Reference Point Results to AutoPIPE Nozzle/AutoPIPE Vessel&amp;quot; check-box Enable, then the loads can be automatically exported to AutoPIPE Nozzle for further design analysis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;How to model a vertically pipe supported by a Pipe clamp and spring supports as shown below:&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2626.1.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2626.1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;Answer:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;There are a few method of modeling this type of support:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;Simple Method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;A. Model the vertical pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;B. Insert a node at the vertical elevation where the steel is connected to the pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;C. insert a Spring support with the correct spring Cold load, Spring Rate, and number of Springs as indicated below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2068.3.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/540x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/2068.3.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style="margin-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;Detailed Method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;A. Model the vertical pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;B. Insert a node at the vertical elevation where the steel is connected to the pipe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;C. Insert Rigid Beam from the Center of the pipe to the outside surface of the vertical pipe in one direction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7762.a.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7762.a.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;D. Insert a Second Rigid Beam from the&amp;nbsp;Center of the pipe to the outside surface of the vertical pipe in opposite direction. Indicated below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7271.b.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7271.b.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;E. Insert a new Beam ID whose properties match the steel used in fabrication of the support:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;F, At the end of each rigid beam modeled to the out side surface of the vertical pipe from step above, insert a new beam with the correct length to the spring support location, apply the new beam property:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3073.e.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/440x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/3073.e.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7282.c.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/7282.c.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;G. At the ends of both Beams &amp;nbsp;insert a spring support with the correct settings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/d.png"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/d.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;H. Review Beam Stress sub report.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:60px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;Note: if the beams above were replaced with actual piping segments, Insert&amp;gt; Xtra Data &amp;gt; Reference Points&amp;gt; with &amp;quot;Report Reference Point Results to AutoPIPE Nozzle/AutoPIPE Vessel&amp;quot; check-box Enable, then the loads can be automatically exported to AutoPIPE Nozzle for further design analysis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
