Member HI,
I'm analysing Transportation case for a skid system already analysed for Who's Online

Next, when I'm deleting the displacements at the tie-in points from the
input model itself amd with the same set of load cases I'm getting

My concern is that if the displacement vectors are not included in the Su M Tu W Th F Sa
load cases then how the same is being considered for the stress 1 2
computation! I agree that the boundary conditions are getting changed

Member If you add a new load case component (e.g., D1) to a model that was Max Online: 105 @ 07/02/17
already analyzed, you must either "Recommend" Load Cases again or 10:16 PM

enter that load component by hand (e.g., change W+T1+P1 to

Loc: UAE When I have included displacement in the Caesar Spreadsheet but I
haven't included the same (i.e. D1 vectors) while defining the load case
intentionally and made a run, the report generared should be same as
without any displacement fed in the input model i.e. Caesar
Spreadsheet.....

Here what I feel is that when displacement vectors are not included in
load cases, they shall not involved in any computation and once they are

not involved in any computation, they are as good as being an idle entry
in the system. But this is not the case as the result varies in both cases.

The software doesn't work that way. If you define a displacement vector
Member (D1), any DOF that you restrain is restrained in the model - regardless
of whether or not you include D1 in the load vectors.

Posts: 5787 Recognize that a displacement is a boundary condition. Consider a
Loc: Houston, vessel nozzle where you define D1 as {0, .5, 0., 0., 0., 0.} In a case
Texas, USA where you include D1 you would expect DY to be 0.5 and the other five
DOF to be zero. In a case where you don't include D1 (such as W+P1,
SUS) you would want all six DOF to be zero, not free.
