hello, I'm working on this model. I would like to know how to connect the slab with beams, so that the whole work as one element.

Thank you

Hello Patricio, divide the beams in such a way that each boundary vertex of the shell becomes an endpoint of a beam segment.

Best, Clemens

Hi Clemens,

I did what you suggested but now assemble element doesn´t work properly. Could you please tell me how to fix it? Thanks in advance, Patricio

Hi Patricio,
if you flatten the 'Elem'-input at the 'Assemble'-component the definition works. The triangular shell elements have linear displacement interpolations whereas the beam deflections are exact. In order to get correct results you should refine the shell mesh.

Hello, succeeds in creating the mesh to the slab, and built the beam segment, but when I see the deformations are not expected because the beam is deformed as the slab.

Thanks for the help

PS: maybe I'm using the program for a type of structure that is not the most appropriate, as I saw in the examples of other structures. But this type of structure is that students taught

best regards

Patricio

You could use the 'Mesh Edges'-component to retrieve the naked edges and turn them into beams - see attached file:91014Example1_cp.gh

Best regards,

Clemens

Dear clemens

I was doing a rough estimate of the deformation, and I can not achieve the same result with Karamba.
When I make a rough estimate of the result with Karamba beams and mine are very similar, I think the problem is when I connect the shell, because there are no similar results.

I sent the GH file, and an image of the calculation

The structure is concrete
The result I get is 0.58cm

thank you

Patricio

Dear Patricio,

try to increase the number of shell elements. As mentioned in the manual they are linear elements. A mesh that is too coarse leads to a response which is stiffer than the real structure.

Best,

Clemens
