My project is about windshield of insulator strings. I need to analyze the force of the insulator string. Each insulator is equivalent to a beam. The uppermost end of the insulator string is connected by a fixed hinge, and each edge is connected by a ball joint. How to set the ball hinge constraint

Hi,

If you have access to the Multibody Dynamics module, you should be able to use the Hinge Joint and Ball Joint features in the Multibody Dynamics interface.

Regards,
Henrik
