Restraint Information

All nodes can contain restraint information in the form of up to four additional restraints.

Here we have added two restraints +Z and Y. This changes the xml output as follows:

<Node>

<NodeNumber>30</NodeNumber>

<NodeName></NodeName>

<Endpoint>0</Endpoint>

<ComponentType>TEE</ComponentType>

<Weight>1.31</Weight>

<ComponentRefNo>=2013286676/3062</ComponentRefNo>

<OutsideDiameter>88.9000015258789</OutsideDiameter>

<WallThickness>3.17</WallThickness>

<CorrosionAllowance>1</CorrosionAllowance>

<InsulationThickness>50</InsulationThickness>

<Position>-2999.00 13800.00 0.00</Position>

<BendRadius>0</BendRadius>

<SIF>0</SIF>

For each component containing a restraint, additional restraint blocks are added to the node which contains the node number. Here we have two restraints

<Restraint>

<Type>+Z</Type>

<Stiffness>0</Stiffness>

<Gap>0</Gap>

<Friction>0</Friction>

</Restraint>

<Restraint>

<Type>Y</Type>

<Stiffness>0</Stiffness>

<Gap>0</Gap>

<Friction>0</Friction>

</Restraint>
