Coupling node DOF in Workbench

[lymn123]

Hello,

Is it possible to couple nodes in Workbench as it is done in ADPL? I want to couple a pair of nodes in the axial direction and have searched around but there doesn't seem to be any information. Perhaps it is under a different name?

Thanks

1st option-You can use bonded contact with multi-point constraint option to join the bodies of interest with constraint equations approach. You can even define degrees of freedom to some extent.
2nd option- Create remote points and RMB on environment/structural object and select constraint equation and put equations for each remote point in worksheet.(Not familiar with this/never used)
3rd option- Use command snippet in the structural and use APDL commands with name selection of interested nodes.

Hope this helps.
