Hello all, I would like to solve an elastic problem in a thick slab supported by a truss structure, as shown in the attached image. Looking at this problem, this is how I would discretize the domain
- Use 1D truss elements for the struts shown in green; therefore, one needs to use a Triangulation<1, 3> object - Use 3D hex elements for the slab; therefore, we'll be using Triangulation<3, 3> The nodes of 1D and hex meshes may not coincide; therefore, one needs to impose appropriate linear constraints. Thanks to the tutorials, I know how to solve for the strut structure and the slab separately. What I am struggling with is setting up one large system of equations that solves for DOFs in the entire system. Regards, Ahmad P.S. Step 70 comes very close to my problem. The only issue is that it uses FE_Nothing for one of the domains; that is, one domain does not have any dofs. -- The deal.II project is located at http://www.dealii.org/ For mailing list/forum options, see https://groups.google.com/d/forum/dealii?hl=en --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "deal.II User Group" group.
