Hi,
Can I please have advice on what is the proper way to model the pipe shoe below and to determine the load on the support?
The pipe shoe will be used as guide/rest and line stop. So, the loads acting on are quite critical to determine the support is acceptable.
At the moment this is what I've done:
1. Added "rigid option" between point- with thermal expansion ticked.
For Guides:
For Clamp/Line Stop::
However, when I do that, the loads on line stop and guides seems to be unrealistic due to there are two line stop and guides acting on side by side.
Any advice on the right way of doing these? Thanks.
