Rotational Joints
Joints between elements in The Truss Interface are automatically rotational joints because the truss elements have no rotational degrees of freedom. For beams, however, the rotational degrees of freedom are by default coupled between elements. To create a rotational joint between two beam elements, add one additional Beam interface to a geometry. Make sure that it is only active for the edge that includes the point where the joint is positioned and that no other physics interface is active here. Couple the translational degrees of freedom and leave the rotational degrees of freedom uncoupled at the joint.
