Beam

This example shows how to calculate vibrations of a cantilever beam without damping. The cantilever is modeled with shell elements and elastic material.

Constraints

This example shows how to use *CONSTRAINED_LINEAR_LOCAL keyword to describe constraints in a local coordinate system.

Pendulum I

A pendulum with two colliding blocks is calculated. The pendulum is modeled with beam elements of elastic behavior. The blocks are modeled with solid elements of elastic behavior and one of it is given an initial velocity. The *DEFORMABLE_TO_RIGID option is used to decrease execution time before impact.

Pendulum II

A pendulum with two colliding blocks is calculated. The pendulum is modeled with beam elements of elastic behavior. The blocks are modeled with solid elements of elastic behavior and one of it is given an initial velocity. This input deck shows other variants of *DEFORMABLE_TO_RIGID option.

Shell

This is a small example of angular rotation modeled with two shell elements.
