/INTER/LAGMUL/TYPE2

Block Format Keyword Describes the Lagrange multiplier interface TYPE2.

Description

If the Lagrange multiplier formulation is used:
  • The incompatibility with standard kinematic conditions are checked out automatically in Starter
  • Other Lagrange multiplier conditions may be applied to main and secondary nodes, unless there is a physical incompatibility
  • There is no added mass on main node
  • Kinematic conditions are applied to secondary and main nodes

  1. The dsearch is computed as:(1)
    d search = 1 n i = 1 n d i
