This article describes the concept of the Rigid Elements in NASTRAN.
Example of a 1/8 symmetry plate that is simply supported along the outer edge, clamped with a ‘bolt head’ up to a certain diameter, and loaded with a pressure.
Use to connect a concentrated mass with 6 DOF to solid element nodes with 3 DOF Read More...
In this example we restrain an externally pressurized cylinder that is free-free, i.
