Model support in between element length
Hi! I am trying to model a diagonal beam that has two supports, one of them is in the edge of the element and the other one is a little bit before the lower end, something like this, but where elements 1 and 2 are the same continuos element:
Is this possible right now?
Thanks in advance!
Me leaving some additional feedback:
Unless I'm missing something, the following code reproduces the desired behavior:
ss = anas.SystemElements()
punto_sup = anas.Vertex(x=1, y=3.08)
apoyo_int = anas.Vertex(x=4.12, y=1.27)
punto_inf = anas.Vertex(x=4.58, y=1)
ss.add_element(location=[punto_sup, apoyo_int])
ss.add_element(location=[apoyo_int, punto_inf])
ss.add_support_hinged([1, 2])
ss.q_load(q=-5, element_id=[1, 2], direction="y")
ss.show_structure()
ss.solve()
ss.show_displacement()
Structure:
Displacement
I still don't get why if I add two elements to the model, they are considered as part of the same rigid body.
