You must first run the restrained weight analysis case. This case includes weight, pressure, and concentrated loads. This is a linear analysis.

For the restrained weight case, the software:

  1. Places rigid Y-restraints at each hanger location.

  2. Determines any anchors you want to designate as freed.

  3. Verifies the freed anchors are properly released.

The software calculates hanger hot design loads from the loads on the hanger Y-restraints.

When using the Maximum Load design option, the software first calculates the restrained weight case for each thermal operating case.
