Hi,
I am currently designing a concrete shell which utilises a fabric formwork which is supported by bending active elements. I have successfully analysed the concrete shell but now I wish to incorporate the shell with the bending active elements as this will likely effect the deformation, stresses etc.
I attempted to incorporate 1 steel circular section with the shell but they do not interact. Can you please advise me as to how to connect these elements so I can analyse the structure as a whole?
Thanks in advance:)
(in the last image, I attempted to connect the two elements via joints, this did not work but it gives a good representation of how I would like the elements to be connected)
