Hello,
So i'm having fun with PLAXIS 3D, I have this structure which is a 3D rectangle made of steel.
I got a load resultant with Vertical, Horizontal, and Moments at the geometric center located at the base z=0, point B.
Point B is located at an empty area, so I've been thinking of a way to force a load transfer on Plaxis with the load resultantat at point B. Two options crossed my mind, use a virtual plate element with material parameter (to be defined) to make it only transfer the load without impacting the results
The second option is to use beams based on the same principle. I don't know if it's feasible, and I would like some guidance from the community if possible. Ps : I'm very new to Plaxis 3D,
Thank you very much !
Dear ABR,
You may want to add a figure or so about the situation you're trying to model to make it clear for everybody.
With kind regards,
Dennis Waterman
