In a full pipe model I belive I can apply tension or compression on pipe ends by using Distributing coupling or pressure at pipe end.
However, If I want to model half pipe by taking symmary along the pipe. How would I do the distributing coupling at pipe ends?
I tried to do it as I would with full model with half the loading, I found that there is a stress concentration near the symmary line which is not expected. How should I attrach the coupling so that I get the same results as I would in full model?
