Interface Between Shell and Beam element

[Zeeshanbhat]

Dear Team,

Is there any interface or contact element in STKO to simulate the frictional behaviour between the Shell element and the Beam element.

You can use the zeroLengthContact3D.
Read the OpenSees documentation and pay attention to who is the master and who is the slave.
And also pay attention to the orientation of the contact normal vector.
