Overview of Functions

Info

Creates rigid body connection members that is subordinate to the Master vertex for the freedom of arbitrary nodes (Slave Vertices). Compatible with boundary condition elements when exporting analysis models.

Details of Functions

Create Tab

Type

Info

Select how rigid body members are created.

  • Select master/slave vertices : Select the main and slave node(s) directly.

  • Project Vertices : Create rigid connection parts by the Projection of selected nodes to the selected Tool members.
