Dear Hitesh,
This is a very dangerous thing that you are designing. In a straight run pipe only one axial stop can be provided. IT is against the principals for designing the system for taking thermal loads.
You are providing three axial stops with gaps, which can give you results in software and on paper you will get your system safe. But think practically. At site how this system will work. You dont know the friction coefficient and accuracy of the support erection at site.
It is not principally correct to restrict a straight pipe at more than one location. It can shear-off the support at the support location.
I think you should consult to your seniors regarding this.
Regards,
Kaustubh
