I would like to simulate a catwalk between two mooring dolphins by constructing a simply supportted beam with 1 fixed support with the other support allowing deformation at the second support in order to determine the thermal expansion of the member. There are two simple load cases to analyse.
Can you please have a look at the model attached and comment on the type of support used at node 2? It should allow thermal expansion in the axial direction. This will help me determine the spacing required between catwalks.
