There is a work around. You can add a guide support at the point of interest and set the support stiffness to zero. The support report will give you local displacements ( left, right. forward, back)

Thanks for the response, Mike! I read through the help section contents, but I guess I still don't quite understand how the calculated pipe "Forces and Moments" are converted to Restraint / Support...

Greetings, Please recall that the forces and moments reports are calculated forces and moments in the pipe. Meanwhile the support report is the bearing force of the pipe on the support per Linear /...

Hi, When using B31J, do SIFs and k factors get applied at the header pipe wall by default? And does it automatically model a rigid section from header centerline to pipe wall? Thanks, Sean
