Defines the value used for computing the hanger restrained weight loads.

Typical units (depending on your unit system):

  • lb/in

  • N/mm

  • N/m

  • N/cm

Where hangers are adjacent to other supports or are themselves very close, such as where there are two hangers on either side of a trunnion support, the hanger design algorithm may generate poorly distributed hot hanger loads in the vicinity of the close hangers. Using a more flexible support for computing the hanger restrained weight loads often allows the design algorithm to more effectively distribute the system’s weight. A typical entry is 50,000 lbs/in. The default value is 1.0E+12 lb/in or 0.175120E+12 N/mm.
