I am trying to model a steel support that is embedded in concrete. I need help figuring out the best way to do that. I have already modeled the structure, as well as the support's steel plate.
One tip I found online is to make the elements of the steel plates as compression only elements (I don't exactly know how to specify that in WorkBench).
Another tip I recieved is to use "enclosure" feature to model the concrete in which the plates are embedded in.

Any information you'll have is greatly appreciated.
