yes,this is very clear. I did it and constrained N2,3,4 as full fixity. Secondly, the three nodes at each feet were plotted as you suggested (x+1,y,z),(x,y+1,z),(x,y,z+1). Can I plot as (x+5,y,z) or +1 is the standard?

Hi, This is how I have obtained the other offset nodes from one of the foot nodes. Since, I am pretty new to FEMAP, Can u guide me how to join a rod to these 3 nodes obtained to get the rods 0-1, 0-2,0-3? Thank...

So, the O node is the origin node (0,0,0)? In total there should be 12 nodes?

This is how the apex node is joined to the three-rod nodes created as shown in the attachment. Please verify if this is righthttps://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=5604c8fd-fe34-44fc-8e6e-bab0beae76b1&file=feet.jpg

If I constrain 3 dofs when using the beam, it causes transverse shear, but then in the last few lines of your comment, you mentioned that I can use beams and constrain 3 dof. How can this validate correct reactions?

Hi, Could you please let me know the steps on how to attach these rod elements to the feet as in my file?

@rb1957 (Aerospace).. Thank you for your reply. its highly appreciated. How would it differ if BARS were used instead of rods, and secondly, in FEMAP, I get an option to use standard or the NASTRAN element, any explanation wud be helpful? Thank you.

Hello, I have made a stowage unit model, as attached in the file. Can anyone help me out on how to add bar 2 or bar 3 elements at the feet of the unit as shown in the file? The purpose of attaching the feet to the bar is to fix the stowage unit as fixed on an aircraft floor. Thank...
