This tab is available for any selection of Analysis Type in the Dynamic Analysis window.

Add snubbers to the model. Snubbers are supports that only resist dynamic loading while allowing static displacement, such as displacement from thermal growth. Snubbers must have their stiffness defined. Snubbers are not rigid by default because they are typically not as stiff as other types of restraints.

Snubbers may also be added in Input > Piping as part of the static model. In either the static or dynamic analysis, a snubber is idealized as a stiffness rather than damping at a point.
