Could You please any help me
I Have a ropeway car frame model (beam elements)
I am not sure respect How apply boundary condictions between roller and track rope.
Simplifying the disegn, I have not considered the roller contact, only bearing contact in the roller shaft. What might be the traslations and rotation in the shaft of the rollers?
Considerering the normal forces between roller and track rope, How can I apply the boundary condictions?
add picture
Thanks

Hi Juan,
Here are my suggestions:
If you are working a 2D model, you can restrain the other nodes in the "z" direction.
By the way, what are you trying to calculate with your model?
