SolidFixedCondition

SolidFixedCondition[pred,vars,pars]

represents a fully constrained solid boundary for PDEs with predicate pred indicating where it applies, with model variables vars and global parameters pars.

Details

  • SolidFixedCondition specifies a boundary condition for SolidMechanicsPDEComponent.
  • SolidFixedCondition is also known as a fixed support boundary condition.
  • SolidFixedCondition is typically used to fully constrain the movement of a solid boundary. Common examples include a beam that is fixed to a wall at one side.
  • SolidFixedCondition constrains the movement of a solid with dependent variables , and , independent variables and time variable .
  • Stationary variables vars are vars={{u[x1,…,xn],v[x1,…,xn],…},{x1,…,xn}}.
  • Time-dependent variables vars are vars={{u[t,x1,…,xn],v[t,x1,…,xn],…},t,{x1,…,xn}}.
  • Frequency-dependent variables vars are vars={{u[x1,…,xn],v[x1,…,xn],…},ω,{x1,…,xn}}.
  • The fixed constraint SolidFixedCondition models , and .
  • SolidFixedCondition is a special case of SolidDisplacementCondition where the displacements are set to 0.
  • Model parameters pars are specified as for SolidMechanicsPDEComponent.
  • A fixed condition boundary can be used with:
  • analysis typeapplicable
    TransientYes
    Frequency ResponseYes
    EigenfrequencyYes
    StationaryYes
  • SolidFixedCondition evaluates to a DirichletCondition.
  • The boundary predicate pred can be specified as in DirichletCondition.
  • If the SolidFixedCondition depends on parameters that are specified in the association pars as …,keypi…,pivi,…, the parameters are replaced with .

SolidFixedCondition evaluates to DirichletCondition:

SolidFixedCondition is a special case of SolidDisplacementCondition. Set up variables and parameters:

Create a fixed constraint:

This is the same as a displacement condition with 0 displacement:
