Specifies the connecting node. Restraints with connecting nodes (CNodes) can be used to tie one node in the piping system to any other node in the system. If left blank, then the software ties the restraint node by the restraint stiffness to a fixed point in space. If the CNode is specified, then the software ties the restraint node by the restraint stiffness to the connecting node.

In all cases, CNodes associate nodal degrees of freedom. Additionally, you can use CNodes to geometrically connect different parts of a model graphically. CAESAR II controls this option through the Connect Geometry through CNodes configuration setting.
