Good morning everyone:

According to general doc, the definition of fiber sections require patches(4 sided 2D poligons).

Is it possible to sustitute the fore mentioned 4 sided poligons for triangles( putting 2 vertex at the same position. it is some sort of degeneration of inital 4 sided patch)?

In case this works, you can mesh cross-sections using triangles and assign to fiber sections. And taking advantage of this last procedure, work out torsional properties.


Thank you very much

Do you know you to model inclined fixed supports ?
(I am thinking about having a 2D structure supported on a 45degree slide)

Thank you very much
