    Rigid elements using Bar/Beam elements

    Hello Blas, Thanks a lot for your explanations. It was very helpful. Kind regards, Rafik

    Rigid elements using Bar/Beam elements

    PS: Also, if I want to keep the same beams (without using RBE2), will it be correct to do: E/1000 and I*1000 E: Young modulus of the material. I: moment of inertia. This means, in order to use the finite elements with the same order of magnitude of stiffness: - the modulus of elasticity has...

    Rigid elements using Bar/Beam elements

    Hi Blas, Thanks a lot for your explanations, I am always fun of your videos on youtube… The use of RBE2 elements is convenient indeed, but for this particular case I have a model with a lot of rigid beams connected to “non-rigid” ones. If I have to convert all the rigid beams to RBE2, I would...

    Rigid elements using Bar/Beam elements

    Hello, I am trying to run a model on Femap made of beam elements. One of the materials of these elements is with very high Young modulus (to simulate a rigid structure). I could not succeed to make the model working because of this difference in elasticity modulus between two elements of...
