Solution space is determined by the refinement. If a NURBS patch is the underlying geometry of the respective Design / Design BRep element, the polynomial degree (p,q,r) and the knot vector can be manipulated for every direction in the parameter space (u,v,w).
Parameter Description
| Parameters | ||
| Parameter | Description | Defined for |
|---|---|---|
| DISP_X DISP_Y DISP_Z DISP_ALL |
blocks the displacement of the corresponding nodes in the respective directions | every element with respective degrees of freedom at the nodes |
| DISP_X_NONZERO DISP_Y_NONZERO DISP_Z_NONZERO |
blocks the displacement of the corresponding nodes in the respective directions | every element with respective degrees of freedom at the nodes |
| DISP_T1 DISP_T2 DISP_T3 |
blocks the displacement in the respective directions. Is applied weakly and summoned over all gauss points. Directions correspond to the base vectors of the element formulation. | ElementNURBS_BRep_EdgeCoupling with ElementSurface_NURBS |
| CLAMPED | clampes by blocking the displacements of the first two control points. It is only applicable for open knot vectors. | every NURBS based element |
| CLAMPED_X CLAMPED_Y CLAMPED_Z |
clampes by blocking the displacements in the defined directions of the first two control points. Note that, X, Y, Z does not denote the rotation axis. | every NURBS based element |
| CLAMPED_TOR | blocks the rotational dof rot_tan. | ElementBeam_3D_NURBS_KLRod,ElementNURBS_BRep_Beam |
