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?
