I'm trying to analyze a glass guardrail in RISA 3D using plates. I use a plate as the glass guardrail. It is supported at 4 points. I would like to find out the stresses at the support points. The only way I can find that RISA will do it is with a single point. In reality the supports are not a single point on the plate; they have an actual surface area. Is there a way to find out the stress caused in the glass/plate by the surface area support?
