Hi
Please would some one advise how to specify 3 joints when adding a stiffner onto a meshed tubular. I am selected 3 joints on the same circumference but it starts giving me wiered looking 'stiffers'.
Many thanks.
You want to select three joints which are on the circumference of the tubular. I've shown an example of the ring stiffener with example input in the images below:
Notice how the three joints are situated along the diameter in the same cross-sectional plane of tubular.
Here you can see the resulting external ring stiffener.
Regards,
Geoff
