Hello all,<\/p>\n

I am trying to model a wing that has the main spar separated and it's connected only by those two ribs and tubes. When in flight, there is a locking mechanism (not represented) that bonds both wing together.<\/p>\n

I have been working on this model for while and this is the only part that I havent been able to solve. There is no analytical answer for this part. I have created a bonded contact between the two sperate surfaces and then I used and edge to face connection, to connect the ribs to the tubes. However, in the simulation, when I run it, I find this problem. I cannot understand if this and accurate representation, since, indeed this tube will have to handle with the cantilever loads of the outer wing or if it a stress concentration. I am using large deformations since it's a large wing. I am also using ACP to accurate model my composite materials. <\/p>\n
