Constraints are used to describe infinitely stiff elements and special boundary conditions that are numerically stable.

A constraint is an element with infinite stiffness. It is possible to define different types of constraint in constraint groups in order to achieve a clearly laid out project.

Note

The group number 0 is interpreted as automatic. If you want to change from a defined group number back to the value automatic, the group number 0 must be entered.

The type of constraint specifies the direction of the constraint with its associated permitted rotations or displacements.

A detailed description of these properties can be found in the chapter ‘SLNS – Supports and kinematic couplings on a SLN’ of the manual SOFiMSHC.
