The Fixture PropertyManager allows you to prescribe zero or non-zero displacements on vertices, edges, or faces for use with static, frequency, buckling, dynamic and nonlinear studies.
Contents
You can use a selected reference geometry to apply restraints. The reference can be a plane, axis, edge, or face. Using this option you can prescribe restraints on vertices, edges, faces and beam joints.
You can use symmetry to model a portion of the model instead of the full model. The results on the un-modeled portions are deducted from the modeled portion. When appropriate, taking advantage of symmetry can help you reduce the size of the problem and obtain more accurate results.
The PropertyManager allows you to simulate the interaction between a shaft and the ground through a bearing. Since the components supporting the shaft are assumed to be much more rigid than the shaft, they can be considered as the ground.The feature is available for static, frequency, linear dynamic, and buckling studies.
