3-d solid boundary conditions
3-d solid boundary conditions
(OP)
Hello!
I am modeling a concrete structure in Adina where I would like to apply a rotational constraint to a 3-D solid element, which happens to not be one of their degrees of freedom. Since I have constraints already applied to each element (in the form of rebar elements) I cannot assign a master/slave relationship to the 3-d solids. I have worked out a crazy sort-of thing with some beam elements and some stiff shells and it looks okay, but I was wondering if anyone here had any better ideas??
Cheers
Owen

RE: 3-d solid boundary conditions
Can you post an image of what you've done so we can see how you are attempting to restrict rotation with the beams?
