As a supplement to pipe supports, CSiPlant also offers 1-point and 2-point link objects for modeling specialized force-deformation relationships for applications such as base isolators, damper friction springs, and yielded damper coefficient behavior. Distributed supports are assigned on a per unit length basis and are typically used for soil modeling which is discussed in a different section of the wiki. Distributed supports can be assigned to pipe and structural structural elements, enabling users to model buried piles and sleeper supports on soil among other applications.
