LINK_BEAD

Defines link conditions (coupling conditions) for nodes in bead optimization.

ID_NAME

= <id_name_of_link_bead>

Name of LINK_BEAD definition.

CS

= <name_of_coord_system>

Name of the coordinate system in which the link condition is defined.

TYPE

  Type of link condition
 

= PLANE_SYM, AXIS_1

= PLANE_SYM, AXIS_2

= PLANE_SYM, AXIS_3

A symmetrical displacement of the nodes referring to the plane which lies normal to the given axis of the coordinate system.

 

= POINT_SYM

A symmetrical displacement of the nodes referring to the origin of the coordinate system is enforced.

 

= ROTATIONAL_SYM, AXIS_1

= ROTATIONAL_SYM, AXIS_2

= ROTATIONAL_SYM, AXIS_3

A rotational symmetric displacement of the nodes referring to the given axis of the coordinate system is enforced.

Remarks

  1. Only Cartesian coordinate systems are allowed in the CS definition.
  2. The possibility of creating MASTER and CLIENT groups canNOT be done in LINK_BEAD.
  3. LINK_BEAD is also allowed for unsymmetrical meshes.
  4. LINK_BEAD is only allowed for bead controller.

Examples

LINK_BEAD
 ID_NAME = my_link_01
 TYPE = PLANE_SYM, AXIS_3
 CS = cs_0
