Hi friends,

Could you please tell me how to model a hinge at a beam end? Whether I have to use coupling dofs?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

One method is to use the joint element COMBIN7. In the ANSYS Help you will find more information about the use of this element.

Regards,
Alex

If you apply only displacement constraints (not rotational) along a straight line, this will act as a hinge with its axis along the line where you applied the constraints.

WARNING: If the nodes you are constraining are not in a straight line, this will act like a fixed constraint.
