Constrained
Joint 1
This problem illustrates a planar joint connecting two rigid bodies.
Joint II
Two rigid shell elements are joined together using a revolute joint. A stop angle is defined so that the rotating plate can only rotate 30 degrees relative to the other plate.
Linear
The center node of a plate moves in the normal direction. Two other nodes that are neighbors to the center node are constrained such that their displacement in the normal direction is identical.
Shell2Solid
A dome has an impulsive pressure load. The dome contains shell and brick element joined with shell-brick interfaces.
Spotweld
Two overlapping plates are connected using three spotwelds. The plates are pulled apart until the spot welds reach the defined failure condition.
Weld
Two plates are connected by four butt welds. The plates are pulled apart and the center two welds fail.
