Hi,
I'm new to the site and a beginner on ANSYS, I am using ANSYS 10 mechanical with the GUI (not workbench). I have created two individual 3d space frames from both LINK8 elements and PIPE16. I have restrained the models, applied loads and performed non-linear geometric analyses successfully. Now I would like to adjust the joint configuration ideally using a mixture of pinned and rigid joints. What is the best way of doing this? I have tried coupling nodes but believe I have made some errors as the models do not displace as expected. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. |
