I think your truss structure needs another member added between the two main members at the supports.
As it is now, the whole structure will move to the right, there is nothing stopping it.
That, or change your 2nd support to also freeze UX and check the results.
So, I think the simulation...
Just a quick question.
When using a beam element, is there a difference between Section Force SF1 and NFORCSO1?
Both give axial forces within the beam.
The same question applies to the other components:
SF1 = NFORCSO1 Axial
SF2 = NFORCSO2 Shear
SF3 = NFORCSO3 Shear
SM1 = NFORCSO4 Bending...
I am having some trouble with element output S12 of a beam element using section integration before analysis.
In my main model I am using a general beam section and am therefore required to use integration before analysis.
My simple test model:
I am using a standard rectangular beam profile...
