Any known limitation on amount of flexible bodies in a model with multiple fixed connections in between?

javier.gutierrez
Hello,
 
I would like to know if anyone has already encountered limitations as the complexity of the flexible bodies increase as well as the number of fixed/bushing connections between them.
While working in a non conventional project, we are trying to do a load cascading with multiple complex flexible bodies with more than 10 connection points between some of them. There is not any rigid part in between them.
 
Is there any general known limitation or rule in order not to fail into wrong loads?
 
We have experience with these activities before with successfull results, but we are wondering in the increase of connection points could be an issue for the load cascading.
 
Thanks,
 
Javier

    Hello,
     
    Thanks for the answer. The situation now is that the model is so complex with so many connections between several flexbodies that the simulation time even for static loadcase simulaiton is pretty high and very difficult to manage and handle.
     
    Is there any workaround apart from combining some of these flexbodies to have less number output nodes and so less number of modes per flexbody? The problem with this approach is that we lose the forces in between these parts and we need all of them.
     
    Any idea?
     
    Thanks in advanced!!
