Hi I am very new to using Kiwi. I wanted to map out the z-displacement of a beam structure on top of a concrete foundation. However, when I run the simulation it seems to not register the steel beams on top of the shell. How would I go about fixing this?
hey, you need to use the 1d-result component for beam structures.However, there is no direct output of the displacements. You have to extract them by yourself. Just use two deformedmodel components and set the displacement scaling to 0 resp. 1. Split the curves scaled by 0 with an appropriate number of point and use the corresponding t-values to evaluate the curves scaled by 1. You’ll get the displacement by comparing the points.
