Joint-Curve | J-Curve | Curve which connects the nodes that are part of the line joint. Fixes the line-joint's tangential X-direction. | Curve |
At element identifier | AtElemId | Identifiers of the shell to attach the line-joint to. Use regular expression '&"id1"|"id2"|...' to select multiple identifiers. | Text |
Y-Orientation | Y-Ori | In-plane direction of the line-joint. Points towards the shell where the joint shall be attached. | Vector |
Z-Orientation | Z-Ori | In case the joint's Y-direction is (0,0,0) or parallel to the joint-line direction, the joint's tripod gets created via the joint-line's X-direction and the Z-orientation. The joint gets attached to those elements which the joints Y-axis points to. | Vector |
DAlpha [deg] | DAlpha | Maximum angle [deg] between a mesh-face and the Y-Ori for adding a line-joint to it. | Number |
Ct [kN/m/m] | Ct | Translational spring stiffness [kN/m/m] of the line-joint.Values take effect if corresponding DOF is set to hinged. | Vector |
Cr [kNm/m/rad] | Cr | Rotational spring stiffness [kNm/m/rad] of the line-joint.Values take effect if corresponding DOF is set to hinge. | Vector |
Joint Dofs | Dofs | List of degree of freedom indexes (0:Tx, 1:Ty, 2:Tz, 3:Rx, 4:Ry, 5:Rz) to be released in addition to those selected via check-boxes. Add a 'ValueList'-component for easy selection or use 'Expand ValueLists' from the component's context menu. | Integer |
