Specifies filter criteria for all reports relating to restraints. Use the operator boxes to specify comparison operators for the filter values.
For example, if you set the Restraints filter class to show all restraints with forces greater than 10,000 lbs on the y-axis (FY), then the software shows only restraints that have FY values greater than 10,0000 lbs on the Restraints, Local Restraints, or Restraints Summary output reports.
You can also select one of the Include radio buttons to filter and include all restraints in your results, include all restraints that do not have CNodes (None with CNodes), or include all restraints with only CNodes (Only with CNodes).
For example, you can select to include None with CNodes, if you want to filter out internal load on a CNoded restraint. This lets you see the total dead weight of a pipe model.
Select Bi-Linear for buried pipe models that also go above ground. In most cases, you do not need to select this filter option.
For more information on filtering output reports, see Filters Dialog Box and Filter Reports.
The software does not apply report-specific filter criteria to custom reports that
use combination classes.
