-
ADJUST
-
Set
ADJUST=YES
(default) to move all tied nodes on the secondary surface onto the main surface in the
initial configuration, without any strain.
Set
ADJUST=NO
if the secondary nodes will not be moved. This is the default if the secondary surface
belongs to a substructure or if one or more of the surfaces is beam element-based.
-
CONSTRAINT RATIO
-
This parameter applies only when two surfaces with rotational degrees of freedom are
tied with an offset but the
NO ROTATION parameter is used.
Set this parameter equal to the fractional distance between the main reference
surface and the secondary node at which the translational constraint should act. By
default, Abaqus attempts to choose this distance such that the translational constraint acts
precisely at the interface.
-
CYCLIC SYMMETRY
-
This parameter can be used only in conjunction with the CYCLIC SYMMETRY MODEL
option.
Include this parameter to invoke a constraint between the faces bounding a repetitive
sector of a cyclic symmetric structure.
-
NO ELECTRIC POTENTIAL
-
Include this parameter if electric potential in solid degrees of freedom should not
be tied.
If this parameter is omitted, any electric potential in solid degrees of freedom are
tied if applicable.
-
NO FLUID ELECTRIC POTENTIAL
-
Include this parameter if electric potential in fluid degrees of freedom should not
be tied.
If this parameter is omitted, any electric potential in fluid degrees of freedom are
tied if applicable.
-
NO ION CONCENTRATION
-
Include this parameter if ion concentration in fluid degrees of freedom should not be
tied.
If this parameter is omitted, any ion concentration in fluid degrees of freedom are
tied if applicable.
-
NO PORE
-
Include this parameter if pore pressure degrees of freedom should not be tied.
If this parameter is omitted, any pore pressure degrees of freedom are tied if
applicable.
-
NO ROTATION
-
Include this parameter if rotation degrees of freedom should not be tied.
If this parameter is omitted, any existing rotation degrees of freedom are tied if
applicable (in addition to the translation degrees of freedom).
-
NO SPECIES CONCENTRATION
-
Include this parameter if species concentration degrees of freedom should not be
tied.
If this parameter is omitted, any species concentration degrees of freedom are tied
if applicable.
-
NO TEMPERATURE
-
Include this parameter if temperature degrees of freedom should not be tied.
If this parameter is omitted, any existing temperature degrees of freedom are tied if
applicable.
-
NO THICKNESS
-
Include this parameter to ignore shell thickness effects in calculations involving
position tolerances and adjustments for initial gaps.
-
TYPE
-
Set
TYPE=SURFACE TO SURFACE
(default for most cases in Abaqus/Standard) to have the tie coefficients generated such that stress accuracy is optimized for
the specified surface type pairings.
Set
TYPE=NODE TO SURFACE
(default for all cases in Abaqus/Explicit) to have the tie coefficients generated according to the interpolation functions at
the point where the secondary node projects onto the main surface.
