Constrained
Several constraints are presented
Joint 1This problem illustrates a planar joint connecting two rigid bodies. |
Joint IITwo rigid shell elements are joined together using a revolute joint. A stop angle is defined so that the rotating plate can only rotate 30 degrees relative to the other plate. |
LinearThe center node of a plate moves in the normal direction. Two other nodes that are neighbors to the center node are constrained such that their displacement in the normal direction is identical. |
Shell2SolidA dome has an impulsive pressure load. The dome contains shell and brick element joined with shell-brick interfaces. |
SpotweldTwo overlapping plates are connected using three spotwelds. The plates are pulled apart until the spot welds reach the defined failure condition. |
WeldTwo plates are connected by four butt welds. The plates are pulled apart and the center two welds fail. |
