Abaqus shell/beam mixed mesh

Abaqus shell/beam mixed mesh

Abaqus shell/beam mixed mesh

(OP)
Good evening fellow colleagues. I am trying to do a stress concentration analisys at the corner of a beam structure (see attachment). I am trying to use MPCs to connect the beam element tip with the shell mesh, but when I check the analysis, I get an error message saying that my elements are missing properties. Since all my elements have properties, I supose I missed something about the MPCs.

Does anyone tried this sort of connection before? How did you do?

Thanks in advance...

Guess I missed the proper order to do the meshing. It somehow worked now.

RE: Abaqus shell/beam mixed mesh

Good, but if it's an analysis of the stresses at the right angled corner then you're wasting your time. The trua answer will be an infinite stress concentration.

Yep, thats what I am expecting.
