Required parameters
- CONSTRAINT NAME
Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to this
constraint.
- REF NODE
Set this parameter equal to either the node number of the reference node or
the name of a node set containing the reference nodes.
When the reference node set contains multiple
nodes, you should specify an influence radius to avoid
overconstraint issues.
- SURFACE
Set this parameter equal to the surface name on which the coupling nodes are
located.
Optional parameters
- INFLUENCE RADIUS
Set this parameter equal to the radius of influence centered about the
reference node. If this parameter is omitted, the entire surface is used to
define the coupling constraint.
- ORIENTATION
Set this parameter equal to the name given to the
ORIENTATION definition (Orientations)
that specifies the initial orientation of the local system in which the
constrained degrees of freedom are defined.
