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

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

My first thougth is to split the global simulation into two subproblems where the flexbodies and connections are divided into two smaller equivalent simulations that are easier to be calculated separately and in each of them different cascaded loads are extracted.
