Connections Shells and Solids
Connections Shells and Solids
(OP)
I am trying to set up a simple problem with a block of solid materail with a hole thru it and a simple plate which is a shell. The hole has a rivet passing thru it. I have tryed varoius ways of creating a joint without success the only way which seems to work is a rigid connection which creates a singularity which yields the results to be inaccurate. Does anyone know how to connect a mid plan shell to a solid. Has anyone else come across this problem? or know of a solution?

I've had this 'not so simple for me' problem before and I had to go to mechanica independent mode and use a beam element with two link type elements (1D to 2D) and (1D to 3D).
