If you model the nozzle as a rigid anchor with no flexibility, then you should get conservative results for piping stress and nozzle loads. Note that the nozzle may still have displacements due to thermal growth of vessel. You then would still have to evaluate the nozzle loads for acceptability, by either comparisons to allowable nozzle loads tables, review by vessel vendor, or FEA methods perhaps.
