The application of Linkage
Rod connectors is extended to nonlinear static and nonlinear dynamic
studies.
You can specify a Linkage Rod connector between
cylindrical faces, circular edges (for shells), or vertices to model the behavior of
connecting rods.
To open the Linkage
Rod PropertyManager:
In the simulation study tree, right-click Connections
and click Linkage Rod
.
You can list a linkage rod connector's forces such as shear force, axial force, bending
moments, and torque after you run a simulation. Right-click Results
and click List Connector Force.
