Hi,
I would like to connect a laminated glass pane to a supporting frame consisting of mullions en transoms in Abaqus. In construction, this connection is usually made by a bead of structural silicone sealant. In several scientific publications, this bead of sealant is modeled in FEA with springs (with equivalent shear, normal and rotation stiffness):
So my question: how or with which connectors can I connect the glass with the frame, like shown on the picture?
