Hi

I want to model a plate that connected with stiffening beams in ANSYS.

 beams and plates has rigidly connected together, and there were no joints.

for model this, I first make an area and secondly extend this area to make a volume.

then I divide this volume to seperate plate and beams.

this is my question :

what relation exist berween components when they divide from one volume.

I mean suppose we have a volume, then we divide it in to two parts, what relation exist between this two new

volumes. 

is this kind of modeling in ANSYS is appropriate?

 I mean make an integrated volume and then divide it in some parts.
