    Help needed with FE model check failures

    Yes, it is supposed to represent how a fastener connects to the face. The person who created the model hasn't been so responsive but I believe it's supposed to be a beam. If you don't think I should connect all the way through, how many elements deep would you go? The thickness of the section...

    Help needed with FE model check failures

    For example, I have attached images of an area where the rbe2 is connected to a few points on the face of the solid element, and how i plan to rectify it. Is it ok not go just one solid element deep with the connection? Or should the connection go the complete depth of the solid part (i.e. 10...

    Help needed with FE model check failures

    Hi all, Thank you very much for your support. I removed the beam elements and replaced them with single spiders, and that seemed to have solved the failure with the unit gravity check. The main problem I have now is the failure of the free free check: *** USER INFORMATION MESSAGE 7570...

    Help needed with FE model check failures

    Thank you all very much for your help. I did not create the model, I was hired later on and am dealing with a model with many issues, so I am investigating all the errors. @SWComposites - Yes, the independent nodes for each rigid element are connected to the beam element. I can understand that...

    Help needed with FE model check failures

    I have deleted my other posts. Below is are images of the 2 connections that I am unsure about. Thank you very much.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=30e01405-089c-4a00-92d7-91057e55a107&file=Rbe2-beam-solid_connection.PNG

    Help needed with FE model check failures

    Hello, I have questions regarding FE modelling with rbe2, rbe3, and solid elements. I keep getting failures in my unit gravity and free free checks, and the points of exceedances are beams connected to rbe2 elements. My questions are are follows: 1) What is the best way to connect 2 rbe2...
