Hello,
I am modeling a seismic load in Abaqus (a 2D model). In my literature review, I came across a specific boundary constraint for lateral sides of the domain. It is said that kinematic tie constraints were set at the side boundaries, allowing for common lateral displacement patterns. Can you please help me define this type of constraint?
Should I define equations or coupling in the interaction module? How should I define it (for all the nodes, the whole surfaces, or one node at each side )?
Thanks
