Constraint under pressure only?
Constraint under pressure only?
(OP)
Hello there,
I'm building up a model of a scaffold and I have a little question about Constraints.
At the wheels and baseplates of the scaffold I use Constraints to pin down the model.
Using Freebody I remove any Constraints that are under tension, ie lifting of the scaffold.
Is there a way to let Femap determine itself when this occurs?
I had a quick look at Equations but I couldn't work that out.
Thanks for your help.
