Apply point load at a randome location on a single shell element.
Apply point load at a randome location on a single shell element.
(OP)
Hi all,
I've been trying to apply a point load at the middle of a shell element without meshing the element finer. What I did was to plot a joint at a certain location and then add secondary beams to transfer the load to the edges of the shell elemtns. However, the results are wired.
Does anyone know if there is a way to connect a joint to the shell element so that the point load is directly transfered on the shell elements?
Thanks!
