Hi everyone,
I am trying to model a beam element (which is supposed to work as a pile) embedded into a 3D block solid of soil.
the beam element (pile) is supposed to have 2 interfacial interactions; 1) tangential and normal contact at the end of beam element , 2) tangential and normal contact on the beam circumference.
could anyone explain how to define this type of interaction?
I really appreciate that.
