There are some reasons to have to divide into two modeling.(division, company, program)
Anyway, in this case between two models, i am wondering whether my approach to apply stiffness values is right or not.
And if two models are able to be unified into a single model.
Is follow steps right?
1. input unit force at a specific point such as TP(a),
2. Calculate stiffness at the point based on displacement
3. Apply the stiffness to TP(a) with force and moment in boiler part modeling(not unified)
The purpose of my approach is to reduce stress values for boiler header piping.
Thank u
