I want to model it in a restrained position so it wont be a mechanism. Do you know how to model the hinge point in STAAD? Would you model two plates overlapping and draw a beam between them to transfer the forces?
I am using STAAD to run a finite element analysis of a window hinge using plates. An image is for reference (http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/360230405051-0-1/s-l1000.jpg)
Is there a way to connect two parallel plates together in different planes, restrain it, but allow rotation about the pin...
