Fluid Filled Fire Hose

Fluid Filled Fire Hose

(OP)
Hey All,

I'm looking for the best place to start in a simulation of the following:

I would like to study the results of different air pressures in a fire hose, 20ft, to resist an amount of deflection enough to allow a man to walk across it.

I started a static structural simulation with the tube modeled and a pressure applied to the internal of the tube. A force was placed at midpoint and the ends were fixed. Aside from not being sure on the best material to simulate fire hose I'm wondering if this is the right approach for a problem of this nature.

Thanks,
D
