rb1957,
Thanks for your replies, I tried to model a simple version with beams, and that worked!
I am aware of the problem with reality :).
FYI: I'm modelling a non-plugged cargo door, so no reactions at the doorstops. Only at the hinge line (on top of the door) and 5 latch-hooks at the...
The structure I'm modelling is not just these bars. It is an airplane door under cabin pressure that I suspend on several rods or beams over the top and bottom side to allow some movement due to expansion of the surrounding fuselage (of which I have no model). Initially I modelled de boundary...
Hi,
I am sorry for the lack of clarity in my first post. The best way to understand my problem is as follows:
I have a an arc of 10 connected bar elements. The elements on the ends are fixed in translations but no rotations. The structure is loaded under a singular load in the middle of the...
I have multiple elements connecting in one node. How can I fixate the angle between the several elements?
I tried using multiple nodes on the same location, and creating MPC, but this doesn't seem to work.
