End-Release in 1D beam element analysis
I am trying to perform a 1D beam element analysis on a FSAE car. I need help regarding the application of beam end releases at the suspension nodes, but at this point I don't know is whether I am doing this right
Node 1 i.e. pin a = 456, node 2 i.e. pin b =0 - for simulating the a arm with a ball joint
and,
Node 1 i.e. pin a = 5, node 2 i.e. pin b = 5 - for simulating the bell crank.
Thank you.
