Equation constraint
Equation constraint
(OP)
Hello,
I need to use equation constraint to impose this equation on two nodes A and B: u(A) - u(B) = C
C is a constant = deformation x L
The problem is that i don't know in Abaqus how to include in the equation constraint the constant C, i know that the equation should be written u(A) - u(B) - C = 0 but where do i put the C?
Thank you so much in advance

Hint: Prescribe a nonhomogeneous constraint.
