constraint

Submitted by wakeful on

Hello freinds 

I am simulating a bridge with beam elements, here i should put a beam on the other one with out any conection

now how I could creat this kind of constraint ?

Thanks alot

If you're imagining something like contact between two beams, then in 3D beam model, you can not define contact between two beams directly. If this is the case, and the analysis is small deformation then you can try GAP element to simulate contact between two beams at the point of contact.
