Stress exerted by a U-bolts for stress analysis
Stress exerted by a U-bolts for stress analysis
(OP)
Please when modelling in Caesar II, What restraint directions do one give to a pipe held by a U-Bolt? The bolts will be used to clamp the pipe down to an L-Beam.

Similar to point restraint, but with out the z restriction. you should be able to put in a resistive force in the z direction, to simulate resistance on the tube from sliding. But that value may have to be empirically determined.
