Dear SRKM,

PV Elite at this time does not have more than 4 saddles.

For 4 saddles we divide the load among 4 saddles and then analyze the 2 outer most saddles per Zick analysis. As you may know that the Zick paper only addresses a vessel on 2 saddles.

In the future we plan to implement the EN method for the saddles. In the mean time you may use the Zick method and try to be on the conservative side.
