zero shell displacement

Module: solid

Category: bc

Type string: "zero shell displacement"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units
sx_dof sx-displacement false []
sy_dof sy-displacement false []
sz_dof sz-displacement false []

Description

To fix the nodal back-displacement degrees of freedom (dof) of a shell use the zero shell displacement boundary condition. This element has two required attributes: the type is set to zero shell 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.

<bc type="zero shell displacement" node_set="nodeset1">
  <sx_dof>1</sx_dof>
  <sy_dof>1</sy_dof>
  <sz_dof>1</sz_dof>
</bc>

This boundary condition can only be applied to nodes that belong to shells.
