Point Supports
The frame "Point supports" contains a table with the list of point supports. Adding point supports is performed in the "New point supports" dialog window.
The input point supports can also be edited on the desktop with the help of active objects. The program employs the following coordinate systems.
The program contains a built-in automatic generator of standard boundary conditions. Therefore, in most problems the boundary (support) conditions are not required to be specified.
The following types of point supports are considered:
- free
- fixed
- spring
- prescribed deformation
Supports are defined in the global coordinate system.
