For beam models, Nastran normally will automatically split the sketch lines where two lines intersect so that the beam elements are connected together. Normally.

Hi @Anonymous Friction is not supported in a linear analysis. You need to be using a nonlinear static analysis. Please see this article for suggestions: Analysis results including friction do not match with hand calculation in Inventor Nastran.
Hi @charrigan6B552 . Welcome to the Inventor Nastran forum. Constraints connect the model to the ground. In your situation, the tee pin connects the shaft to the frame. No type of constraint applied to the shaft will mimic that exactly. The load that is transferred to the constraints goes into the ground instead of into the frame. Depending on how tight the tee pin is in the hole through the ...
With a static linear analysis in Nastran 2022 and 2023 the prompt at the end of the analysis wont pop up. This means the results wont load. The following I've already checked: - It only happens with Nastran 2022 and 2023, 2021 is OK with the same analysis - The dialog box is not outside of the scree...
Hi @Anonymous Why do you say that applying a load to the top of the plate concentrates it in the middle of the plate? Have you run the analysis? Inventor Nastran does not work that way. The load (whether a force or a pressure) is distributed over the selected geometry. If you apply a force to a face, it behaves like a pressure (=force/area of face). If you apply a force to an edge, it behaves ...
