Attached is a model of a simple box girder truss. The displacement results are disappointing if I have set the model up correctly, however that is not my main concern. I will play about with the component sizes and the bracing configurations
I want the truss to be supported at each end by a set of two machinery skates per end - a bit like an overhead gantry crane. My question is have I set the constraints correctly. Thanks in anticipation.

I also meant to say constraints as opposed to “restraints”.
Does this change the constraint arrangement?
Apologies for what may seem naive questions. I am not an engineer so I am trying to gain a better understanding of this subject.
