Constrain
the behavior of one node to the behavior of another node.
Define the main node that affects the deformation of another
node and degree of freedom [Constrained Node/DOF]. TX,
TY, TZ are the degrees of freedom for displacement and
RX, RY, RZ are the degrees of freedom for rotation. [Independent
Node/DOF] inputs the coefficient applied on the displacement
of the independent node, to define the degree of freedom
and interrelationship between the dependent node.
Boundary Set
Register
the set constraint conditions on the desired boundary
set. The user can specify the name of the boundary set.
The behavioral
characteristics are similar to Mesh > Element >
Create > Other > Rigid link. For example, when the
main node moves by a certain distance, the dependent node
can be constrained such that it moves by twice that length.
When creating a complex interrelationship between two
or more nodes, the constraint equation can be used. |
Constrain the
degree of freedom such that a particular node is dependent
on the behavior of another node.
