Hi,
I have an isodamp sandwiched between 2 plates. I have ignored isodamp (0.1" thick) in the model. Under the given linear loading condition, I see the plates bending and touching each other which in reality is prevented by the presence of isodamp. I then tried to use a linear gap as shown in...
I'm using FEMAP-nxnastran. I came across an old model where a CBUSH is directly connected to a node in TET element. The load that CBUSH sees is not only axial and also CBUSH nodes are not lying on one plane. I think coordinates can explain it better.
