Hallo:
I need to model a three point bending test on a notched beam using elastic hexahedral elements on the sides of the beam and non linear tetrahedral elements (defined by me with a Element User Subroutine) in the central part of the beam. I want to connect the three groups of nodes with a master and slave algorithm.
My question at this stage is how to generate the three groups of nodes and how to connect them.
Thanks.
Have a nice day.
Andrea.
