I’m doing a structural stress analysis in an assembly the steps I need to do are below:
1. The assembly will be under loads and temperature and get deformed.
2. New loads need to be applied on the deformed shape of step 1 without stresses produced in step 1. ( it is assumed that stresses made in step 1 relax over a long time)<\/p>\n

I tried to export the deformed Geometry as .stl but repairing the .stl file is so time-consuming. Second way was I took the solution of step 1 and entered into a new analysis as below:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, the beam elements twisted and rotated when I entered the Solution from one analysis (Step 1) into another (Step 2):<\/p>\n

First step meshed Geometry:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Geometry entered in step 2:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

the beam elements are connected to a few shell elements. the shell elements come to the 2nd step of the analysis very good but the beam elements twist and rotate.<\/p>\n

Any solution or is there any way to do this any better?<\/p>\n
