(1) One or more MPC or Lagrange Multiplier formulation based contact regions or remote boundary conditions may have conflicts with other applied boundary conditions or other contact or symmetry regions. This may reduce solution accuracy. For MPC based remote points, setting the relaxation method may help eliminate overconstraint. Tip: You may graphically display FE Connections from the Solution Information Object for non-cyclic analysis. Refer to Troubleshooting in the Help System for more details. (2) Two or more remote boundary conditions are sharing a common face, edge, or vertex. This behavior can cause solver overconstraint and is not recommended, please check results carefully.

I think this is due to overconstrained because what I did for the top beam structure was to define fixed joints between each connected element, which made the whole structure rigid<\/strong> (I tried to define contact, instead of the joint, between these beams, but it was always orange – contact closed with large penetration or gap, in the initial contact information), and I noticed that there is something called a “3-2-1 DOF” to constrain the structure properly. But all material I found online was acting this method on solid bodies instead of a structure that is inter-connected and includes beams (line structure). So what I want to ask is if there is any material about it that anyone could kindly point me to. Or may I ask if, according to the “3-2-1 DOF”, how should I properly constrain these line structures and how this rule can be transit between components connected by beams?<\/p>\n (2) This is kind of a related question to (1). The attached graph is an example of the beams in the top structure. So far, I have used fixed joints, bonded contact, and edge joints – shared topology, respectively<\/strong>, and tried to link these beams without overconstrained. But it all kind of failed, and the same warning in (1) would appear. May I ask if there are any suggestions on this part?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Best,![\"\"](\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/23-06-2023-1687493214-BridgeNew.png\")
