Need to Add NLFE Beam having cross section of Tube between two annular tubes.

Need to Add NLFE Beam having cross section of Tube between two annular tubes.

Outer Tube is Fix and Inner Tube has motion for 5mm displacement.

How to give connection of Outer/Inner circumfrence nodes of NLFE Beam to respective Inner/Outer Tube. ?

Thanks

Hi @Jigar,

The only constraints that can be applied to a NLFE body are at the definition points, as contacts can not be defined on a NLFE body. In your definition, you would need to create ball joints along every coincident node to essentially 'combine' this cable together. So for every point you use to define each NLFE body, you will need two ball joints to connect the sleeve to the tube and the tube to the core.

Hope this helps!
