Line Body/Beams Lose Vertices on Transferring Solution Data

      Hi,

      When exporting a solution within interconnected analysis systems, vertices on line bodies/beams are not being exported. How can this error be addressed?

      For example, a nonlinear buckling analysis C is missing the vertices.

      Also, bolt pre tension/pretension elements do not work on these beam elements in analysis "C"

         

      Thank you

      Hi, 

      I tried on my end and was able to transfer the data without any loss. Can you please check the options under model properties?

      Thanks

      Deepak.

      Thanks Deepak,

      The “create geometry” boxes were unticked in my case. The fix worked. 

      Also, how can beam elements remain “rigid” after transferring solution data so I can apply bolt pretension to a straight line/edge?

        Can you please explain the case in more detail? any images.

      Deepak,

      In analysis A-B im performing a linear buckling analysis. 

      I export the deformed body based on the mode shape from analysis B for nonlinear buckling with deformations into Analysis C. The bolts modelled as beams cannot be selected for bolt pretension. Is there a workaround?

      Thank you!
