This is unusual, but I need to force a two-element truss to move with displacement that is pinned at both ends. It should come together with some sort of joint. the elements should deflect but not &#8220;bend&#8221;.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I cannot get it with two members either, I am very new to ANSYS. I can theoretically solve it easily enough in equalibrium, but need to make this work in ANSYS. I think I&#8217;m close, or maybe way off. I went from a complex knuckle joint (3D modelled) to a simple line structure and have been going at it for a long time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&#8221;background-color: rgb(186, 55, 42);&#8221;&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/29-03-2024-1711673661-mceclip0.png\" \/>&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-359556","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/359556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/359556\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
