Hi,

Is there a possibility to configure a vertical elastic bend with supports. For example in a tunnel with a radius in the vertical plane.

Perhaps this is not possible in CaesarII, therefore I would like to know how the influence of an elastic bend can be incorporated in the model.

The axial stress due to the elastic bend normally would be:

sigma_xx = (E*r)/(0,9*R)

With regards

I would recommend use of a FE software like ANSYS or ABAQUS.
