Hi everyone,

 

I use beam elements instead of bolt connections in parts consisting of 3 plates.

 

As seen in the figure, I proceeded by selecting the washer surfaces of the first plate and the last plate to create the connection.

 

But how can I establish contact between the mid plate and this beam element?

 

Under Connections, all bodies are defined as frictionless. Can I continue without establishing contact by acting like a body in the formed beam element?

 

Can you help me on this matter?
