I can do tube bending analysis.

I have a program that does tubing bending analysis. It came free with a book on stress analysis and can do any shape beam.

I did my Aluminum tubing with it.

I'll look up the parameters I need, and then send a request to the list for your parameters.

I think I need:

Diameter, Wall thickness, length, density and Young's modulus

And where the tube support is, and what weights are where (Mirror, focuser and secondary)
