I reduced my model to a three point bending problem of a beam to get my head straight.
Initially, I take a 10 x 10 x 30 beam and fix it at both z=0 and z=30. I apply a 10N force at z=15. The reaction forces at z=0 and z=30 are 5N each. This is my baseline reference to check my symmetry BC in...
Hi,
I have a simple linear-elastic model I'm trying to run. It has a plane of symmetry, so I decided to put that plane on rollers. I first did this by constraining all nodes on that plane to have zero displacement in the z-direction, and let it free in the x- and y- directions. This failed.
I...
