Hi Guys!!

How it's going? I hope you are ok!

I'm facing with the flagepole connection warning and I don't how to fix it. The model consists in a box meshed with 3D elements and a wing made by two multilayer panels linked with 1D elements as you can se in the figure that I attach.

This models is a reduction of a hugh model. My idea is try to reduce the detailed model with this.

Any idea??

Thanks!!!

Solid elements dont have rotational DOF`s. Your wing can rotate around X axis.
Ass some additional beams or RBE2 spiders to prevent this rotation.
