Simple Fix for an experienced Ansys Static Structural user
(OP)
Hi Engineers!
I am currently having a problem where I have a structure using multiple 1D Beam elements loaded with a force. The problem I am having is that when the beams are deforming they do not have collision between them and are intersecting with one another. Is there a way I can fix this and create collision between the elements so they will not pass through each other as this will help the accuracy of my simulation drastically.
Kind Regards,
I have attached a photo of my problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.
