  • Hi Nafuat,

    I noticed no one has responded to your post.  I would like to offer some advice on requesting assistance.

    You need to state the problem you are trying to solve. 

    You have a barge that is connected to two vertical beams.  How are the beams held in place?  They are part of the body ground?

    How have you connected the vertical beams to the barge?  Are you using generalized springs?  The connection to the two beams are the only connections?

    How are you modeling the diagonal direction load?  Is the load a wave environment?  Is the load a constant force?

    Conversation via long distance, written, and an extended period of time are tough.  The forum is here for anyone to respond.  People respond here as a volunteer.  You are making it difficult for volunteers.  You need ask a question. In your post there are no question marks.  The phrase "please advise" is too general. This phrase lets me decide what is your question.

    You said "attached model".  I did not see an attachment.  This is a common mistake.  I would have just asked you to check that the model is attached.

    Please try again.
