Hello everyone,

I am building a model of buckling restrained braced frame. Column, beam, gusset plate and end of the BRB are represented by solid element whereas the brace is used as a truss element. I want to establish contact between the truss element and solid element to transfer the force from brace to the gusset plate. Like tie constraint which is used to create contact between two surfaces of solid element, is there any option to create contact between the node of wire element and surface of the solid element?

Your suggestions would be very valuable to me.

Thank You!!
