Dear Blas,
thank you for your , as usual, very useful advices.
I just mirrored the surfaces and as you said connections regions are mirrored as well, i just get an error when i try to merge the nodes on my simmetry axis, which goes:
nodes not merged due to Output Coordinate System conflicts...
Hello,

As you can see, one big surface with big mesh on which are lying other surfaces with different mesh. There are many ways to model this, one can split (in rhino or in femap also) the bigger surface on the location where the contact is and the merge nodes...
Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on a 40 meters ship model for linear static analysis, mainly all shell elements QUAD4 (small thickness structures). The geometry has been prepared with rhino in order to use the new Femap V11 improved edge-surface glue feature.
First of all I made a couple...
Dear Blas,
thank you so much, I didn't understand clearly point number 2, but now i'm getting familiar with rigid elements and understanding how connection works. I'll investigate on the advice of giving loads and boundaries on the geometry more than on the mesh, but i appreciate your will to...
Dear Blas,
thank you very much. Now I'll follow your advices, beginning to create beam element (i know it's day 1 lesson 1) but can't succeed, i give the section properties and the orientation (and of course beam element type) and the script says in red ''element #12345 orientation is colinear...
Ok, thanks for the tip ( and for the tutorial on your website :D ).

Hello everyone,
I'm a beginner in using Femap, so I would like to receive some comments and tips about how to model a railing type object. I have linked a screenshot of the model: it consists of two plates, which are linked by three pipes welded on the side of the plates. I've fixed the lower...
