I am designing a ingot casting Machine. where three support (C120, 70x70x7, 40x10 Plate) are weleded parallaly. means fully rigid (in Pic). in the structure i have four like this . The roller chain move on 40x10 plate.
Now when i enter in the frame analysis environment, these three support(C120, L50x50x8, 40x10 Plate) make rigid link only at two ends.so after applying the force on (40x10 plate), when i do simulation, i get huge deflection as there are only two rigid link at the end.
if i increase the rigid link within these link mannualy, this delection will surely decrease. but how many times will i do it ?
is there any system that will automatically keep these three supports (C120, L50x50x8, 40x10 Plate) as one rigid link.
i appreciate any help in this regards thank you
