Too stiff model (merging???)
Too stiff model (merging???)
(OP)
I am modelling a dowel column-beam connection and I've already ran some analysis. The results show that my model is much to stiff. I checked if I made some foolish mistake but everything seems OK.
I started to think about merging instances of my model. I chose merging geometry and under intersecting boundaries I used retain.
Is it possible that I accidently merged together two instances of the same part in same position so I didn't see there were two. Consequently the model would be much stiffer.
Thank you

RE: Too stiff model (merging???)
it's true that I if I merged two instances of the same part in samw position I would have just one part and one new instance but would that part have doubled stiffness?

RE: Too stiff model (merging???)
i'm am having the same problem. I am also modeling beam which i merged before. Everything seems to be fine but the construction is far too stiff!
do you have any suggestions for me how i could proceed?
@human123 how did you solve your problem
Thanks!
