rigid_displacement

Module: solid

Category: bc

Type string: "rigid_displacement"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units
rb Rigid material -1 []
dof dof -1 []
value value 0 [L]
relative relative false []

Description

The rigid_displacement constraint prescribes the value of a rigid displacement degree of freedom.

The rb parameter is the name attribute assigned to the corresponding rigid body material as defined in the Material section.

The values allowed for the dof parameter are: x, y, or z.

If the relative flag is set, the value is taken relative to the dof value at the start of the step.

The following example prescribes the x-displacement degree of freedom.

<rigid_bc type="rigid_displacement">
  <rb>rigid</rb>
  <dof>x</dof>
  <value lc="1">3.14</value>
</rigid_bc>
