Hello,

I've a problem with a work that i've to do for university. In this excercise i've to use shell elements and apply a concentrate moment on the extremities of the structure, but if i apply the moment only on some Keypoints, the deformation is ridicoulous and absolutely not real. Does anyone know how I can apply the moment along the z-axis in such a way that the deformation is better without having that super deformed area at the moment application points?

Hi

Point moment and forces are not always very realistic (ok, if we look at stresses away from area of application - St. Ven. Principle) - more often forces and moments are kind of distributed, so:

Apply it to the whole edge (rigid behaviour) and that should take away the local def.

All the best
