Hi Guys!
I am currently having a problem where I have a structure using multiple 1D Beam elements loaded with a force. The problem I am having is that when the beams are deforming they do not have collision between them and are intersecting with one another. I am having a problem creating contact between the beam elements, i am unsure what i need to change in the settings so they do not pass through each other and have tried autogenerating with no luck.
I have tried using the contact tool and inserting a manual contact region but neither of these have worked for me.
I have attached a photo of my problem, any help would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards,
Harry
