Is it possible to model a tapered tube 1D element in hypermesh?
Is it also possible to model tapered plates? If so, can anyone provide the steps needed to model those?
Thanks
Hi Rod
You can model tapered section in Hypermesh 1D. As tapered section has variable cross-section it is advised that it should be modeled in 3D for better accuracy
