Below we zoom into a skewed direction anchor with pipe support local axes graphically displayed. Anchors, guides, line stops, and distributed supports (soil) have local axes which by default align with the piping local axes. Local 1 is the red arrow, which is the longitudinal direction of the pipe, green arrow is local 2 and blue arrow is local 3. CSiPlant enables users to assign imposed displacement loads using local or global axes. In this example we defined an installation load pattern INSTALL and we assign imposed displacements using the Local coordinate system as shown below right in inch units.
