FEA Model Support & Boundary Conditions


About the course

This course explores support rigidity, realistic boundary conditions, and when pinned supports can be rigid. It covers creating area supports, simplifications, linear contact basics, defining contact, and typical contact and boundary condition solutions. Practical examples include a cantilever, bolted connection, beam on area support, and varying rigidity supports.
