What are connector behaviors?

After you specify a connection type for a connector section, you can define behaviors for the components of relative motion. You can specify the following connector behaviors:

  • Elasticity

  • Damping

  • Friction

  • Plasticity

  • Damage

  • Stop

  • Lock

  • Failure

  • Reference length

  • Integration (Abaqus/Explicit analyses only)
