I am for this solution. Please bear in mind that to make things easier you should build a model of secondary suport, e.g. vertical steel element, then both guides attach to the same endpoint of the steel element. No only stiffness of this element would be taken into account, but also you will have all the loading grouped together, including torque, that usually would be omited if you insert only one guide. Like advised during our workshops... :-) BTW: Luke, it would be great to have capability to report grouped loading of secondary suport this way. It still isn't so simple and requires some hand calculation...
