- BEAM
Provide a rigid beam connection between two nodes. (JOIN + ALIGN)
- BUSHING
Provide a connection between two nodes that allows independent behavior in
three local Cartesian directions that follow the system at both nodes
a and b and that allows different
behavior in two flexural rotations and one torsional rotation. (PROJECTION CARTESIAN + PROJECTION FLEXION-TORSION)
- CVJOINT
Join the position of two nodes, and provide a constant velocity connection
between their rotational degrees of freedom. (JOIN + CONSTANT VELOCITY)
- CYLINDRICAL
Provide a slot connection between two nodes, and constrain the rotations by
a revolute connection. (SLOT + REVOLUTE)
- HINGE
Join the position of two nodes, and provide a revolute connection between
their rotational degrees of freedom. (JOIN + REVOLUTE)
- PLANAR
Provide a slide-plane connection between two nodes with a revolute
connection about the normal direction to the plane. The PLANAR connection creates a local two-dimensional system in
three-dimensional analyses. (SLIDE-PLANE + REVOLUTE)
- RETRACTOR
Join the position of two nodes, and convert material flow into rotation. (JOIN + FLOW-CONVERTER)
- TRANSLATOR
Provide a slot connection between two nodes, and align their three local
axis directions. (SLOT + ALIGN)
- UJOINT
Join the position of two nodes, and provide a universal connection between
their rotational degrees of freedom at the nodes. (JOIN + UNIVERSAL)
- WELD
Join the position of two nodes, and align their three local axis directions.
