Problem:
Support / anchor stiffness are being rest to a lower value when using AutoPIPE, why?
Example when trying to set the anchor / support rigid stiffness settings to 9.80665E+15[N/mm], it resets back to 0.17860E+12
why?
Solution:
If you enter a stiffness value greater than Rigid in the Anchor and Support dialog, it will be automatically reset to current Rigid value.
If you want to enter a value greater than Rigid, go to the "Edit Model Options" dialog and change the Rigid anchor / support value to a higher value. Press Ok to close the dialog. Now one can specify the support / anchor stiffenss up the new rigid value entered.
