Hi

May any one advise how to define the consstraints for bolted flanges by Ceaser II at points B1 & B2? How big is the difference in the constraint forces/moments between points A1/A2 and B1/B2? I think the constraint forces/moments at points B1/B2 shall be less than the forces/moments at A1/A2. Thanks.
