The model shows an innovative connection solution where contact is modelled using surface releases. It provides special meshing options for solid elements and allows you to connect members to surfaces and solids. The plastic analysis performed using the RF-MAT NL module provides realistic stress redistributions. This example illustrates practical approaches for modelling complex connection effects in steel structures.
