In my experience your problem must be solved trough iterations. This is due to that 50% partially fixed is not completely clear in stiffness terms, only in force terms.
Fixed means that the support stiffness is infinite, 50 % of infinite is ???, it doesn't compute.
If you instead work with springs you can create the support conditions you want to simulate fairly simple.
