How to make an inclined roller support. 1. Use the menus Geometry/Curve - Line/ Coordinates to create two lines. Use the X, Y, Z coordinates 0, 0, 0 and 200, 0, 0 for the first line and 200, 50, 0 and -50, 50, 0 for the second. Next, make two more lines using the menus Geometry/Curve - Line/Points such that you get the geometry shown in the second figure below. 2. Use the menus Geometry/Boundary Surface/From Curves to create a surface. 3. Use the menus Mesh/Mesh Controls/Size on Surface to set the element size to 10. 4. Select the menus Mesh/Geometry/Surface . Select the surface and in the “Automesh Surface” window, select the icon. In the “Define Property” window select the icon and load the material properties for 4340 steel. Next give this property a name and thickness of 1. Click OK twice. You should now have the mesh shown below. 5. Next, generate a new coordinate system to allow us to make a roller support on a 45 degree incline. Select from the menus Model/Coord Sys … In the first popup window, key and a title and make sure the Method is Angles and the Type is Rectangular . Click OK. In the next popup window, make sure the Method is set to On Point as shown below. Next select the point shown in the image below and click OK. On the next popup window enter the X, Y, and Z rotation angles using the values 0, 0, -45. Click OK and Cancel. 6. Your model should now have the rotated coordinate system shown below. 7. Next make a roller support along the angled edge. From the menus select Model/Constraint/On Curve . Key in a constraint set name and click OK. In the next popup window select the edge on a 45 degree angle and click OK. In the next popup window, apply the settings shown below. Note that were are referencing the new coordinate system to apply the constraints. Click OK but don ’t click Cancel yet. 8. Now create a Fi
