TCL Command RIGIDF2B

Syntax

RIGIDF2B arg1 arg2 arg3 arg3 arg4 arg5 arg6 arg7 arg8

Description

Entry of the rigid connection between an area of a station-defined component or a spring (1: M) and a BODY type component (N: M), whereby the target nodes (part 1 of the definition) receive the node number of their reference node (part 2 of the definition, see "TO").

Arguments

Minimum number: 3

arg1

Value	unit	Meaning
name	TEXT	Station-defined component or spring (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	Body name (reference)

arg("TO")+2

Value	unit	Meaning
NOTOL	KEYWORD	No restriction to the search
TOL	KEYWORD	The search is restricted by the 3 following tolerances

arg("TO")+3 (arg("TO")+2 = TOL)

Value	unit	Meaning
tolx	LSTRUCTD	Tolerance in X
toly	LSTRUCTD	Tolerance in Y
tolz	LSTRUCTD	Tolerance in Z

Examples

RIGIDF2B "Bearing 2-1-1" BACK TO "Abutment_1" TOL 0.200E+00 0.100E+01 0.200E+00

The spring ""Bearing 2-1-1" is connected via its rear side (1st node) to the body "Abutment_1" here. Only nodes on the body within the specified tolerance are considered and the nearest node replaces the spring node.
