    I am running this on a shell mesh and it's freezing up after it's done. Does anyone else have that issue? I'm using HW2022, with the Optistruct suite. Is that why?

    Are there any other good tools for building spiders with the use of BEAM/BAR elements for use with Optistruct? It's quite specific I know.
