LINK_BEAD

Defines link conditions (coupling conditions) for nodes in shape optimization.

ID_NAME

= <id_name_of_link_bead>

Name of LINK_BEAD definition.

CS

= <name_of_coord_system>

Name of the coordinate system in which the link condition is defined.

TYPE

  Type of link condition
 

= PLANE_SYM, AXIS_1

= PLANE_SYM, AXIS_2

= PLANE_SYM, AXIS_3

A symmetrical displacement of the nodes referring to the plane which lies normal to the given axis of the coordinate system.

 

= POINT_SYM

A symmetrical displacement of the nodes referring to the origin of the coordinate system is enforced.

 

= ROTATIONAL_SYM, AXIS_1

= ROTATIONAL_SYM, AXIS_2

= ROTATIONAL_SYM, AXIS_3

A symmetrical displacement of the nodes referring to the plane which lies normal to the given axis of the coordinate system.

Remarks

  1. Only Cartesian coordinate systems are allowed in the CS definition.
  2. The possibility of creating MASTER and CLIENT groups canNOT be done in LINK_BEAD.

Examples

LINK_BEAD
 ID_NAME = my_link_01
 TYPE = PLANE_SYM, AXIS_3
 CS = cs_0
