Elements tested

  • AC2D3
  • AC2D4
  • AC2D4R
  • AC2D6
  • AC2D8

Features tested

The adjustment of nodal coordinates is tested.

Problem description

The test verifies the adjustment of nodal coordinates. The reference nodes of three coupling definitions are adjusted to their corresponding surfaces.

Results and discussion

The adjust nodal coordinates are printed to the data (.dat) file. These new nodal coordinates verify that nodes have been adjusted to their corresponding surfaces.
