Connection between SHELL and CBEAM elements

Dear friends,

Good morning, I want to know if you could please help me, I can't find a way to solve my problem. I am analyzing the structural behavior of a vehicle, and I have modeled it with CBEAM elements (chassis) and SHEEL elements (the shape): I want to connect shell and beam elements by an automatized way. Is it possible? How I can incorporate into my model? Regards.

Hi JJJ

Manually you can do by using Rigids (RBE2) or connectors. Check this pdf for more details on connectors

Dear Pranav,

Thank you very much for your repply. But the problem is that I have a lot of 1d elements that I have to connect with 2D elements. I want to know if exists in Hyperworks anyway to define to the program that he finds contacts (point-surface) and assign a bonded contact.

Regards,

JJJ
