Hi all,
Coordinate system : x,y are in-plane direction. z is the out-of-plane axis (vertical axis)
How to provide the boundary condition (constraining) for a full model , which is unsymmetric ? Which nodes to fix ?
For example :
For Quarter symmetry model : One node is fixed in x,y,z directions. Quarter symmetry faces are constrained in the respective x and y axis.
For Half symmetry model (symmetric about x-axis) : One node at the centre of the model is fixed in x,y,z directions. Half-symmetry face is constrained in x-axis.
For full model : How to give the constraints to the model to avoid rotations and translations ?
I am applying a temperature load on the model and checking the deformation.
