A very simple plate Problem doesn't want to be resolved.
A very simple plate Problem doesn't want to be resolved.
(OP)
I'm trying to perform a static analysis on a vertical plate [A B
C D].
the corners A and C are constrained in 123456
on the side of B a force is applied in the horizontal direction. i applied this force with a help of an rbe2 element on some nodes.
i tried the following variants:
* spc1 for the rbe2 master node with: 456
* spc1 for the plate nodes : 6 or 5 or 4 0r 13456 (2 is the direction of the force)
the results i get when submitting the analysis are:
node displacements : 0
stress: 0
can any say what missed for this calculation ?
thank you
NB. the file is included

Also, I believe your rigid element must be rigid in the 2 direction if you want to it to transfer your force in the 2 direction.

Why are you putting an SPC on the RBE2?
