I created the frame using Frame Generator and wanted to check what is going on inside that structure. What are the distributed loads, stresses, reactions etc. But, as I found out, it seems like <STRONG>Frame Analysis</STRONG> tool doesn't work for bent profiles. So, my question is: is that right? Should I go with <STRONG>Stress Analysis</STRONG> tool instead, or is there a way to do it with <STRONG>Frame Analysis</STRONG>? See the attached picture with error messages. Frame Analysis doesn't detect any of the frame members and doesn't allow me to put any constrains, fixtures, forces, etc.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Regards,</P><P>Georgi</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="10_Static Analysis.JPG" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/730613i936990644410C8E3/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="10_Static Analysis.JPG" alt="10_Static Analysis.JPG" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 17 Feb 2020 10:12:07 GMT gantonov 2020-02-17T10:12:07Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/bent-profile-frame-analysis-inventor-pro-2018/m-p/9322488#M153375 <P>Hi all,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I am developing a project of a sphere, built from bent profiles.
