flexible element (trailer)

[Leonardo.G]

Bye to all,
I'm new to the forum, but I've been following you for a long time.
I wanted to ask if it is possible to define, during a static simulation an element as flexible.
I explain better, I have a rectangular aluminum frame and 2 tirant steel that connect the extreme angles x modes, I would like the tie rods to work only in traction and not in compression since the sw considers it as a full cylinder.

use catia v5r20

a thank you in advance for those who can give me some advice:finger:

I asked myself the same question today thinking about x-tires in biplane aircraft or thinking about the wire and carrucole command systems connected to the servants.

Hello, panormus,
I finally "resolved" by inserting only the pullers working in traction (but I had a simple load situation).

But the question is really sad...:biggrin:

Good day
