Stiffness point definition for isolated foundation

Hi,

Is there a way to define the stiffness point of the isolated foundation?

I use a surface to generate the foundation. This surface is used as a Srf in the ExtrudedSolid. The foundation commands in FEM Design create a surface support according to the height of the plinth and the thickness of the foundation.

Is there a way to access the generated surface by FEM Design? Since the stiffness points need to be applied to that surface.

I have already trying creating another surface support but it does not work.

Hi @TommasoVidali

Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to add stiffness point to an isolated foundation with the API.

As a work-around, have a look at surface support and stiffness point.
