Note: if an enhancement or defect has not been added to the program, log an Service request for that enhancement. The more requests logged per an enhancement, the quicker the CAE development team will add that feature to the program.
The following enhancements and defects have already been requested:
Feature 1053714:
Add feature to select specific spring
Feature 860319:
Add UnisonHKR spring hangers catalog
Feature 745885:
Add Kinetics Noise Control Springs and Cans
===================================================
Description:
Add spring hanger data for Bergen Pipe Support Group (PSL) to libraries
Update damper support (F = Kx) to account for dashpot portion of a viscous damper (F = Kx + Cv^n). Adding additional fields for damping coefficient "C" in units of N-s/m or lbf-s/in
Enable Variable and Constant springs support bearing directions to be user defined (between 'support ID' and 'Connected to' points) instead of only acting in the vertical direction regardless of graphical image.
Workaround:
Calculate and insert a Concentrated Force with the correct global X, Y, & Z directions. Recommend assign this force to the GR load-case, therefore the force will only act when the GR load-case is part of a given combination.
Add a six way restraint to the supports(DX, DY, DZ, RX, RY, RZ), this will effectively give us the C-node feature. This should include connected to point.
