ST7-1.50.70.12 Modelling Supporting Structure with Support Attributes
Support attributes can be used to represent supporting structure which is not of interest aside from the stiffness contribution. Take for example a plate of glass resting on a rubber pad supported by a beam. Instead of modelling the beams with contact beneath the glass, a plate support attribute can be applied with an equivalent stiffness. This simplifies modelling and also allows the contouring of bearing stresses at the support points.
