<p>Hi,<\/p><p>Hope someone can help me here.<\/p><p>I’m trying to run a simulation where I apply a force across the face of a structure. The construction of the structure varies along it’s length and therefore is more or less rigid in certain areas. Because of this in reality the structure will deform more at some locations and less of the load will be supported by them.<\/p><p>As far as I can tell a static structural analysis doesn’t account for this and just applies the load evenly across the whole face that I’ve selected.<\/p><p>Is there a way of simulating this to take into account the uneven load sharing? I assume it would go from a linear analysis to a non-linear one?<\/p><p>Regards, Josh<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-396036","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-applied-force","topic-tag-structures"],"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
