Hi all,
I have a truss which I am thinking to weld to a base plate. I have 4 nodes with supports and I am thinking about use one steel plate for those nodes as the truss sides are 50 cm. My question is how to model this situation properly. I have two ideas. I would like to know how you see these approaches.
Here the possibilities:
But I am getting a non-covergence in combined cases. The holes have a support with UY, UZ and UX- as fixed directions. The steel plate has only fixed direction for UX+. Whay am I doing wrong in this case? Could be a lot of things.
Find attached the initial model and the two options (the second one as I explained dont work properly).
Thanks in advance.

You option 2 model is convergent.
Just:
Tick "matrix update after each iteration" for all cases/comb
Uplift is UX+ for Support bolt and UX- for Wallbearing
Model attached
