I try to design a pipe to analysis local buckling which in the end surface node will be tied to the reference node. how to tied that surface node with reference node without clicking it one by one in apdl modelling. anybody know how to solve this problem by give me step by step menu in apdl ?
what is the best rigid element in apdl to tied between reference node and surface node ? i wanna to apply momen load in the reference node till the model get buckling.
the model is attached
Dear Danny,
ANSYS provides CERIG command to create rigid region. The same effect can be taken with MPC elements, but I did not use them. Attached script contains your model with CERIG constraint equations.
@ You can have a look at the following pages:
