<p>Hi,<\/p><p>I’m new to LS-DYNA and I’m using LS-PrePost to create models. I’ve created two 1D elemnts (beams). Beam 1 has two nodes 1 and 11, and beam 2 has two nodes 2 and 22. I want to connect all 3 translational DoFs of node 11 and 22 with a rigid link (in Global or local coordinate system) and connect rotational DoFs of node 11 and 22 with rotational springs (constants for rotational stiffnesses are known). How should I do this in Global coordinate system of whole structure and Local coordinate system of beam element?<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Thank you.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-383420","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-6-dof","topic-tag-6dof-1","topic-tag-ansys-ls-dyna-1","topic-tag-connection","topic-tag-ls-dyna","topic-tag-ls-prepost","topic-tag-prepost","topic-tag-rigid-2","topic-tag-spring"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
