Hello All,

I am doing some piping analysis using ANSYS Piping module (Piping Run), instead of using a fixed boundary, I want to define a boundary with some freedom to move, i.e. Ux less than 1mm & Uy less than 2mm. But I could not find a perfect way to do this, though the PGAP command seems to work. Can any expert here give me some comments? Thanks a lot.
