Tube Frame with Sheeting
Tube Frame with Sheeting
(OP)
I am trying to model a tube frame door with steel welded on the exterior. But everytime I run my analysis my sheets fly off where I put a wind pressure, and go through the door. These sheets are stich welded to the frame at the top and bottom and the only connectors cosmos has are spot welds. Is there a way to get the sheets attached to the frame? This is driving me crazy.






RE: Tube Frame with Sheeting
try using the "bonded" setting for contact before meshing. This will force the meshes of different parts which share boundaries (edges or surfaces) to have coincident nodes and thus not to displace one relative to the other.
