Hello,
I work in Ansys Workbench and got some problem.
What tool should I use to tie degrees of freedom of beams and shells?
Manual Mesh Connection in case of two shells works fine, but when I want to tie beam elements and shell elements it's impossible to use Manual Mesh Connection option.

Any advices?
