<p>Hi Shukey Lin,</p>
<p>regarding the bolted connections: Their simulation depends on their intended design. When prestressed such connections can be treated as rigid connections. When not presetressed and working via shear in the bolts the connection can be assumed to act like a rotational joint. In Karamba3D it is possible to define hinges via a '<a href="https://manual.karamba3d.com/3-in-depth-component-reference/3.3-cross-section/3.3.6-beam-joints" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beam-Joints</a>'- or '<a href="https://manual.karamba3d.com/3-in-depth-component-reference/3.3-cross-section/3.3.5-beam-joint-agent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beam-Joint-Agent</a>'-component.</p>
<p>Make sure that the mesh you use for applying the MeshLoad is fine enough. Also try to change 'Length/Segment' in submenu 'Render Settings' of the ModelView-component.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
