Syntax

RIGID arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4 arg5 arg6 arg7 arg8 arg9

Description

Entry of the rigid connection between 2 structure nodes (1:1), whereby the target node (part 1 of the definition) receives the node number of the reference node (part 2 of the definition, see "TO").

Arguments

Minimum number: 4

arg1

Value

unit

Meaning

name

TEXT

Station-defined component (destination)

arg2

Value

unit

Meaning

sname

TEXT

Name of station point (destination)

FRONT

KEYWORD

Last station of the component

BACK

KEYWORD

First station of the component

CLEAR

KEYWORD

Existing connections are deleted. There are no further arguments. The program searches for all connections of the same type and with the specified component name name in the first argument and deletes them.

arg3 (arg2 = sname)

Value

unit

Meaning

FRONT

KEYWORD

Front of the station

BACK

KEYWORD

Back of the station

arg3 or arg4

Value

unit

Meaning

unit

INT

Number of the structural part that represents the node (destination); may be missing if there is only one structural part

"L"

TEXT

Left-hand spring node in case of an abutment

"R"

TEXT

Right-hand spring node in case of an abutment

arg4 or arg5

Value

unit

Meaning

TO

KEYWORD

The following are the arguments that define the reference node

arg("TO")+1

Value

unit

Meaning

rname

TEXT

Station-defined component (reference); if a geometric position and a single structural part are available at the reference station, no further entries are required.

arg("TO")+2

Value

unit

Meaning

rsname

TEXT

Name of station point (reference)

FRONT

KEYWORD

Last station of the component

BACK

KEYWORD

First station of the component

arg("TO")+3 (arg("TO")+2 = FRONT or arg2("TO")+2 = BACK)

Value

unit

Meaning

FRONT

KEYWORD

Front of the station

BACK

KEYWORD

Back of the station

arg("TO")+3 or arg("TO")+4

Value

unit

Meaning

unit

INT

Number of the structural part that represents the node (reference); may be missing if there is only one structural part

CONNECTIONS

Examples

RIGID "Pier1" FRONT TO "MG-Box"

The upper side of column "Pier1" is connected to the "MG-Box" main beam. This utilizes the geometric positioning of the column on the main beam. The program uses the known geometric position to determine the structure node.

RIGID "Abut1" FRONT "L" TO "MG-Box"

RIGID "Abut1" FRONT "R" TO "MG-Box"

The left and right-hand springs on the "Abut1" abutment are connected to the "MG-Box" main beam. This utilizes the geometric positioning of the abutment on the main beam. The program uses the known geometric position to determine the structure node.
