Hello to everybody,
I'm working with a model and I need to lie two nodes which initially have the same coordinate position. Afther one analysis with the two nodes linked, I want to remove this link and make a new analysis. I do this process because I'm simulating a crack in composite materials.
The question is:
What comand line I have to use to lie only two nodes?

The help talks about to lie a reference node with all nodes of a surface, but this isn't my case.

Thanks.

Hello,

Have you tried *kinematic coupling ? or *equation ?
 
Hi emigoz
