I have school project, frame similar to container frame with two vessels inside. Both vessels are suported on two beams in 4 points. What is recommended way to represent impact of weight of vessels on frame so structural analysis is correct. To devide total weigt of vessels by 4 and place that force on each supporting plate or to use remote force to represent weight of vessel.

I know only mass and center of gravity of vessels. I don't have model, just model of frame.

Quick mockup

I have a frame, similar to a container frame, with two vessels inside. Each vessel is supported at four points on two beams, as shown in this mockup:

I am using ANSYS to simulate the loaded frame. How should I represent the impact of the weight of the vessels on the frame so that my structural analysis is correct? Should I divide the total weight of the vessels by four and place that force on each supporting plate or use remote force to represent the weight of each vessel?

I know only the mass and center of gravity of vessels. I don't have full models of the vessels, just a model of the frame.
