Constrain certain degrees-of-freedom of Slave Nodes to a Master Node.
If a degree-of-freedom of a particular slave node is constrained to a master node by this command, "Rigid Link" relationship is established for the relevant degree-of-freedom. All the attributes (nodal load or nodal mass) including the stiffness component of the slave node are converted into an equivalent component of the master node. |

Copy the rigid link conditions defined in DOF of the Rigid Link and simultaneously assign the identical conditions to selected nodes.
Axis: Assign the axis direction to be copied
Distances: Assign the copy distances
Note
Nodes must exist at the location to which the Rigid Link will be copied for master and slave nodes.
