Indicates that you are supplying expansion joint data. Select or clear this option by double-clicking Expansion Joint on the Classic Piping Input dialog box.

This auxiliary panel tab controls options for expansion joint stiffness parameters and effective diameter. For a non-zero length expansion joint, you must omit either the transverse or the bending stiffness.

Setting the effective diameter to zero deactivates the pressure thrust load. Use this method in conjunction with setting a large axial stiffness to simulate the effect of axial tie-rods.
