Nozzle's Stiffness

[scalabres]

Hi all,

First of all, excuse me if this is not the correct forum where to post this thread, at least it has something to do with it.

I have to introduce a vessel's nozzle stiffness into the stress analysis software. I am using CAESAR II 4.50. I have radial displacement stiffness and longitudinal and circumferential rotational displacement stiffness. The problem is that I don't know how to model this in CAESAR. I have put a restraint X(1,1,1) type as the radial displacement restraint (with the given stiffness), but I don't know how to model the other two. In fact, is that assumption correct?

Advanced thanks
