Hi Max, this looks like an interesting project.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I recommend using symmetry to reduce the size of the model to 1\/4 of the whole. The symmetry boundary conditions will also help to support the model.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I looked at this webpage <\/a>to learn about point-supported facades. Their panels are glass with holes where metal pins with shoulders and fasteners clamp the glass to the pins.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How do your glass-filled plastic pins contact the UHPC panel (shell)? <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You say you embed the pins in the panel . Do you mean there is a blind hole in the panel where the pin is inserted?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You say the pin is 12 mm in diameter. What is the diameter of the hole in the panel ?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Are the pins bonded to the panel with an adhesive?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The answers to those questions will decide if you can model the panel using 3D shell elements meshing a sheet body, or if you have to use 3D solid elements meshing a solid body. If the pins go into a blind hole, then you must use solids.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Do the glass-filled plastic pins also go in holes in the support block?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is the diameter of the holes in the support block?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is the support block material?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Best regards,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
