zero displacement

Module: solid

Category: bc

Type string: "zero displacement"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units
x_dof x-displacement false []
y_dof y-displacement false []
z_dof z-displacement false []

Description

To fix the nodal displacement degrees of freedom (dof) use the zero displacement boundary condition. This element has two required attributes: the type is set to zero displacement and the node set to which this boundary condition applies is defined via node_set. The optional name attribute can be used to give the boundary condition a name.

This boundary condition has three parameters, one for each degree of freedom. Set the value of each parameter to 1 to constrain the corresponding dof.
