Glass and Aluminium

I have modelled a Aluminium frame with glass surface. How program consider the interaction between aluminium and glass? is it pinned or rigid?
I am getting different deflection for glass surface and aluminium member.

Hi Mjadhav,

in general, objects in RFEM are connected to each other in a rigid way. If you want to change this, you have to define hinges.

In your case, I assume that you have defined the aluminum frame as a member. If you want the surface to be hinged to the member, you have to define a line hinge.

Does that help you?
