Node Support > Copy
Copying node support definitions (spring constants) of the selected node to existing or new nodes. By ticking or ticking off the check box, the CX, CY, CZ, CMX, CMY, CMZ components can be individually copied without affecting the other values.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Node | Source node whose definitions are used as template for defining support values for the target nodes. |
From / To / Step | Series of nodes where Node Supports shall be defined or modified. |
CX / CY / CZ | Translational spring constants in the x, y, z directions respectively |
CMX / CMY / CMZ | Rotational spring constants around the x, y, z directions respectively |
Note: The spring constants are related to the local coordinate directions as specified in Structure > Node support orientation . These node coordinate directions are identical with global directions if no other user specification is done.
