Specifies the directions in which the anchor or restraint is released. When an anchor or restraint should be released for the restrained weight run, type the node number for that anchor in the Free Restraint at Node box and specify the free code describing the directions to be released in the Free Code box on the same hanger dialog box. The available free codes are as follows:

  • Free the anchor or restraint in the Y direction only.

  • Free the anchor or restraint in the Y and X directions only.

  • Free the anchor or restraint in the Y and Z directions only.

  • Free all translational degrees of freedom for the anchor or restraint. (X,Y, and Z)

  • Free all translational and rotational degrees of freedom for the anchor or restraint. (X, Y, Z, RX, RY, and RZ)

The last option usually results in the highest adjacent hanger loads, but you should only use that option when the horizontal distance between the hanger and the anchor is within about 4 pipe diameters.
