rigid_fixed

Module: solid

Category: bc

Type string: "rigid_fixed"

Parameters

Name Description Default Range Units
rb Rigid material -1 \(\in \mathbb{Z}\)
Rx_dof X-displacement false \(\{0, 1\}\)
Ry_dof Y-displacement false \(\{0, 1\}\)
Rz_dof Z-displacement false \(\{0, 1\}\)
Ru_dof X-rotation false \(\{0, 1\}\)
Rv_dof Y-rotation false \(\{0, 1\}\)
Rw_dof Z-rotation false \(\{0, 1\}\)

Description

The rigid_fixed rigid constraint fixes one or multiple rigid degrees of freedom.

The name of the rigid material is defined in the Material section. The referenced material must be a "rigid body" material.

The following example fixes the displacement degrees of freedom.

<rigid_bc type="rigid_fixed">
  <rb>RigidMaterial1</rb>
  <Rx_dof>1</Rx_dof>
  <Ry_dof>1</Ry_dof>
  <Rz_dof>1</Rz_dof>
</rigid_bc>
