Enforced speed constraint (Simcenter Samcef)

An Enforced Speed Constraint applies a known speed to geometry or FE entities.

From the Type list, select:

  • Magnitude and Direction to define the constraint with a magnitude and a direction.

  • Component to define the constraint on an individual degree of freedom.

  • Normal to define the constraint normal to a selection.

  • Translational Components - Field to define the constraint by specifying a table field (for translational degrees of freedom only).

This constraint creates Samcef .CLM VFX NOEUD - V - C - commands in the solver input file. This constraint is only available for a nonlinear solution.

Where do I find it?
