Bent profile frame analysis (Inventor Pro 2018)

Hi all,

 

I am developing a project of a sphere, built from bent profiles. 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 Frame Analysis tool doesn't work for bent profiles. So, my question is: is that right? Should I go with Stress Analysis tool instead, or is there a way to do it with Frame Analysis? 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.

 

Regards,

Georgi

Frame Analysis does not work with curved beam elements.
