Cylindrical support

hasanifte · August 15, 2018, 23:46

The cylinder is placed on a wooden piece. How can I model this problem and provide support to the cylinder?
I dont want to apply fixed support.

It is a simple cylinder. It is placed on a wooden/ table.

=)
i know how cilindre looks=)
cilindre is placed on table and how will load apply?
what will you solve?
i don't understand your issue.
maybe you need contact interaction (small sliding) or your cilindre will slide through table.
i don't know, guy!

I want to fix a single point in the cylinder but cant do that.
Either face needs to be fixed. If i dont fix any face it gives DOF error.
There is no physical support in the actual model.
There is no load on the cylinder. I am looking for thermal stresses.

Use symmetry if possible. Perhaps a quarter section of the cylinder. That will allow for the two horizontal degrees of freedom to be removed.
