Hello,
I want to make a structural analysis of a pipe construction, hence I used the connect and sweep macro to create a structure. But somehow I cannot connect the elements to one body.
How does one create 3d pipe structures for FEM operations?

Re: structural pipes
I am not interested in bending steel, but maximal stress before structural failure and where cracks start.
Re: structural pipes
Your question was how to connect the pipes and that post explains how to do that. What you use the model for is entirely a different matter.

Fuse 2 or more cylinders, use the "facebinder"-tool in arch-wb
to extract a 2D-shell. With the "ElementGeometry2D" you can define
the shell thickness.
