Hi all,

I'm trying to model very simple version of ball bearing.

Problem shows when I create "cycle wheel" instead of ball. Abaqus create hard point in every point where wires crossing each other. This causes that there is always a point in the centre of wheel. Which during analysis is blown into space.

Is there a possibility to create crossed wires without intersection points? I need single element through whole length of wire, not two trusses.

regards
Tomasz
