Optional parameters
- ALPHA
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Standard
analyses.
Set this parameter equal to the thermal expansion coefficient.
Data lines to
specify the degrees of freedom to be constrained
- First line
-
First degree of freedom constrained. See
Conventions
for a definition of the numbering of degrees of freedom in
Abaqus.
If this field is left blank, all degrees of freedom will be constrained.
-
Last degree of freedom constrained. If this field is left blank, the degree
of freedom specified in the first field will be the only one constrained.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to specify
constraints for different degrees of freedom. When the ORIENTATION parameter is specified on the associated
COUPLING option, the degrees of freedom are in the referenced local
system in the initial configuration; otherwise, they are in the global system.
In either case these directions will rotate with the reference node in
large-displacement analyses (when the NLGEOM parameter is included on the
STEP option).
