I have this design where an unconventional valve was supported at its midpoint. The normal way one would want to model this would be to insert a node between the two nodes that specify the valve, and place a support there. CAESAR II does not allow this. I have the intention of splitting the valve into two (with the weight and distances shared equally between the two of them) and placing the support between them. Would that be a true representation of the actual situation?
