To All Interested,

Pipeplus doesn't seem entirely straight forward to me, so I must ask this question. I am trying to analyze a piping system and would like to apply my friction coefficient of 0.150 to my supports/pipe interactions. How do I go about doing this? It seems as though you are only allowed to apply a friction coefficient for a few different types of supports while all the rest are predefined by Pipeplus. How would I go about making sure I have the right coefficient of friction between my piping and my supports?

Yes I only consider 0.3 friction coeficient on oneway suports.
