How to analyse a Truss FEA

Using SimScale Solid Mechanics / FEA
3

Hi @MHHS -

Thanks for posting your question and welcome to SimScale! As you’ve correctly pointed out, there’s no 1D or 2D elements on SimScale yet (maybe give this feature an upvote HERE and HERE).

You can try doing this using 3D tet-elements, but I have a feeling the meshing might be tricky (I assume the pipes are hollow)

Any thoughts here @ahmedhussain18?
