Specifies predefined hanger data. When you use the Predefined Hanger Data section on the hanger dialog box and there is more than one hanger at the location, use the No. of Hangers at Location box in the Design Data section to specify the number of hangers. Then, type the spring rate and pre-load applicable to a single hanger. There is no reason to try to compute the equivalent spring rates or theoretical loads.

Pre-defined hanger data can be specified in one of two ways:

  • Specify all information for the hanger.

  • Specify only the spring rate for the hanger.

If you specify all information, and the restraint configuration for the node is completely defined, then it is not included in the hanger design algorithm.

For a position to be completely pre-defined, one of the following conditions must apply:

  • Spring rate and theoretical cold load

  • Constant effort support load
