More than 2 saddle supports, Zick?
More than 2 saddle supports, Zick?
(OP)
Does anyone know of a modification to the Zick analysis that would enable 3 saddle supports instead of 2. Are there any other design methods for using 3 supports. I know that 3 supports are usually not desirable but I am tryinig to determine stresses in an existing unit having 3 saddles.
Thanks in advance!

Be aware, that for the calculation of saddles reaction, you need to consider not only the vessel stiffness but the kind of support "beneath" the saddles (steel structure??) because the problem can be a continuous beam on elastic supports.
