I am trying to apply some clamping (compressive) load in the analysis. My simplified model is below;
I have a top and btm shell element connected via a 1D beam (circular cross-section). my goal is that the 1D beam element compresses in the direction of the beam. How can I do that in patran?
Either I can define a compressive load or set distance for this beam to shrink. Let me know if there is a way to do it
Hi, Sharing the complete input test model file that you ran may enable others to easily do the same and maybe provide advice based on fact and not conjecture.
