Disperse loads using dummy area elements?
Disperse loads using dummy area elements?
(OP)
I'm looking for a sound way to do this.
In case I want to model steel purlins but don't want to model the decking itself, and still I want the load to be dispersed as an area load between purlins (I.e. through a non rigid surface) I tried tinkering with the modifiers but it was not it, sometimes I even got real garbage (reactions were wrong!)
All I could get was something close, asignning a small section with flex material to the shells.
Anybody has clue?
