Spring and Joint connections are the options to  leverage up on. Here a General joint based  example is created and results with Beam and 3D Solid model were compared. Customer case has  of 100&#8217;s  of piles and interested in quick solution turnaround time. Hence an workflow of Beam model with General joint is suggested.<\/p>\n<p>Attachments:<br \/>\n1. <a href=https:\/\/ansys13.ansys.com\/KnowledgeArticles\/Phase-1\/2058795\/2058795_beam_solid_model_joint_stiffness_V192.wbpz>2058795_beam_solid_model_joint_stiffness_V192.wbpz<\/a><br \/>\n2. <a href= https:\/\/ansys13.ansys.com\/KnowledgeArticles\/Phase-1\/2058795\/Solution_%202058795.pdf>Solution_ 2058795.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-166454","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-19-2","topic-tag-beams-and-shells","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-modeling-and-meshing","topic-tag-nonlinear-mechanics","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["3\/15\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.56.168.180"],"_btv_view_count":["1114"],"siebel_km_number":["2058795"],"product_version":["19.2"],"km_published_date":["2019-04-01T21:29:57.000Z"],"family":["Structural Mechanics"],"application_name":["Mechanical"]},"test":"solution"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/166454\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
