How are guy wires processed in RF‑FORM‑FINDING, concerning the prestress load to be applied? Is it necessary to assign a prestressing force to the guy wires?
I have a truss node with several rectangular hollow cross-sections connected (modeled as an FE shell structure). To create a realistic connection, it is necessary to remove the surface parts lying in the node from some cross-sections.I achieved this using intersections and deactivating the corresponding surface parts. This significantly slows down work with the model. Is there any other way to generate the node?
I would like to set the result values of internal forces in surfaces manually, but it does not work. A small cross and the description "A B" always appear when I move the pointer over a surface.
