Analytical rigid surface
Analytical rigid surface
(OP)
Hello,
I am performing an analysis of composite laminate and have to apply a load such that it should be uniform on all the nodes on that surface. The displacement of the body should be uniform. Do I have to make the surface where load acts as rigid?
If yes how do I start?
Thanks for the help.

RE: Analytical rigid surface
Making the surface rigid is one option. What you constrain by doing this is the ability for the material to Poisson. You may want to choose a kinematic coupling constraint or equation constraint instead.
