MPC184单元——Revolute joint定义

分类: ANSYS |
et,2,mpc184
keyopt,2,1,6 !define a two-node revolute joint element.
keyopt,2,4,1 !element is a z-axis revolute joint with the local e3 axis as the revolute axis.
!!!A local Cartesian coordinate system must be specified at the first node, I, of the element. The specification of the second local coordinate system at node J is optional. If the local coordinate system is not specified at node J, then the local coordinate system at node J is assumed to be the same as that at node I.

Connecting Bodies to Joints
Figure 2.15 shows the meshed model including the revolute joint. To connect the bodies to the joint, you must use either elements (such as beams) or constraint equations. The easiest way to do so is to use contact elements to create surface-based constraints (multipoint constraints, or MPCs), as follows:
-
Define a pilot node at one end of the joint. The pilot node connects the joint to the rest of the body.
-
Select the nodes on the surface of the body that you want to connect to this pilot node.
-
Create contact surface elements on this surface. By sharing the same real constant number (REAL,N ), MPCs between the surface nodes and the pilot node are generated during the solution.
Figure 2.16 shows the contact elements and Figure 2.17 shows the MPCs (constraint equations) created during the solution for the lower body.
Create the pilot node using the TARGE170 element--setting KEYOPT(2) = 1 so as not to allow the program to constrain any DOFs--and issuing the TSHAP,PILO command.
If you mesh the body with elements having no midside nodes (such as SOLID185), use CONTA173 as the element type for the surface mesh. For elements with midside nodes (such as SOLID186 or SOLID187), use CONTA174. Set the following element key options to create the necessary constraints:
KEYOPT(2) = 2 | Constraint (MPC) option. |
KEYOPT(4) = 2 | Generate rigid MPC constraints. |
KEYOPT(12) = 5 | Bonded behavior between the pilot node and the contact surface. |

Instead of the rigid option, you can also choose a flexible
(force-distributed or RBE3-type) constraint option by setting
KEYOPT(4) = 1. The following figures illustrate the difference in
behaviors:
