Determine force on bracing beam?
(OP)
A heavily loaded 30ft beam that needs a brace midspan to oppose LTB buckling. If this beam is only loaded vertically, how do I determine the required strength of the bracing beam needed for LTB buckling resistance?

You can make a numerical model, load it, read the deflections. Make a new model of the bracing beam, feed it with the given deflections (forced deflections), or make a force using Force=stiffens×deflection...
