    APDL Node selection on a meshed line

    It is an impact test for eigen frequencies, so on APDL model, there is no load. I am able to perform the simulation, just this C shape connector's weight is missing. That's why I am trying to find a way to add it as a nodal mass. Thank you for you suggestion. Regards

    APDL Node selection on a meshed line

    This is my model. The joint on the left hand, has a connector,and that is what I am trying to simply model with Mass21 element. I hope it is more clear now. Regards

    APDL Node selection on a meshed line

    Thanks a lot for your concern. I am trying to perform a modal analysis for a 2 link structure that will have different orientations. When I create 2 lines with 3 keypoints as you mentioned, then I need to add a joint element which will cause an additional dof. Because otherwise, they move...

    APDL Node selection on a meshed line

    Hi, I am sorry for the lack of information. Please let me explain in a better way. I am creating a BEAM188 element for a line that is created with 2 key points. Let's consider as K1(0,0,0), K2(100,100,0) Then i use LMESH to mesh this line. After that I want to apply a nodal mass by Mass21...

    APDL Node selection on a meshed line

    Dear all, I have a question about APDL, I hope someone can help me out with this. I have a line which is created with 2 keypoints. After meshing, I would like select a specific location on this line and add a nodal mass (mass21). This location is dynamic, so that it is calculated each time. My...
