Axial couplings permit limited axial movement (within the specified gap) and unlimited torsional rotation. Bending deformation is constrained.

Description |
Name |
Element identifier. When checked, displays in 3D view. |
Friction Force |
Axial friction force. Pipe movement occurs when axial force exceeds this value. Can be retrieved from database. |
Allowable Axial Expansion |
Maximum axial gap. Movement stops when deformation reaches this limit. Can be retrieved from database. |
Allowable Rotation |
Maximum torsional rotation. Set to 0 for unlimited rotation. |
