ANSYS WB14 Connections
(OP)
I am building a model of a structure that houses a monorail crane. I built the structure as a line model and want to model the loading of the crane as a pendulum. I added a node for the crane location on the monorail beam, added a line segment to represent the height of the load on the crane, and applied a dead load on the crane line segment. How do I create a pin style connection/contact for the line segment connection to the monorail beam? I know that WB will create bonded contacts when creating parts but I want to make sure I can represent the loading as a pin style connection.

1) "The solver engine was unable to converge on a solution for the nonlinear problem as constrained. Please see the Troubleshooting section of the Help System for more information."
and
2) The unconverged solution (identified as Substep 9999999) is outpot for analysis debug purposes. Results at this time should not be used for any other purpose."
