Specifies the second node number to which the other end of the snubber is connected. This value is optional. If the snubber acts between the piping system and a fixed point in space, then do not enter a value for CNode.

Connecting nodes for snubbers works in the same way as for restraints.

Example 1

Add a rigid snubber at node 150 in the Z direction.

1E12 Z 150

Example 2

Add rigid snubbers at nodes 160, 165, and 170 in the Z direction.

1E12 Z 160

1E12 Z 165

1E12 Z 170

Example 3

Add a rigid snubber between the structural steel node 1005 and the piping node 405 in the Z direction.

1E12 Z 405 1005

Example 4

Add a 5,000 lb./in. snubber in the X and Y directions at the piping node 500. The X snubber connects to the structural steel node 1050 and the Y snubber connects to the overhead line at node 743.
