Im trying to model a floating roof for a storage tank. The file I included shows the basic structure I would like to analyze. The entire structure will float, but will be restricted from moving in radial directions by guide poles. The analysis technique I am using represents the loads (weight, buoyancy, etc.) as pressures on the top of the deck plate, as well as on the bottom of the "pontoon".
I can't seem to find a way to restrain the model. The entire roof must be free to translate in the y direction, but not rotate or move in the radial direction.
Thanks for any help you can give, I am quite new at solidworks if you cant tell.
Thanks,
David
