# Defining rigid elements
|
||
|
||
Rigid elements must always be part of a rigid body. See “Rigid body definition,” Section 2.4.1, for complete details on the definition of a rigid body.
|
||
|
||
Input File Usage: \*RIGID BODY, ELSET=name
|
||
|
||
where the ELSET parameter refers to a set of rigid elements.
|
||
|
||
Abaqus/CAE Usage: Interaction module: Create Constraint: Rigid body: Body (elements)
|
||
|
||
# Mass distribution
|
||
|
||
In Abaqus/Standard rigid elements do not contribute mass to the rigid body to which they are assigned. The mass distribution on the rigid surface can be accounted for by using point mass (“Point masses,” Section 30.1.1) and rotary inertia elements (“Rotary inertia,” Section 30.2.1) on the nodes connected to the rigid elements.
|
||
|
||
By default in Abaqus/Explicit, rigid elements do not contribute mass to the rigid body to which they are assigned. To define the mass distribution, you can specify the density of all rigid elements in a rigid body. When a nonzero density and thickness are specified, mass and rotary inertia contributions to the rigid body from rigid elements will be computed in an analogous manner to structural elements.
|
||
|
||
Input File Usage: Use the following option in Abaqus/Explicit to specify the density of rigid elements:
|
||
|
||
\*RIGID BODY, DENSITY=density
|
||
|
||
Abaqus/CAE Usage: You cannot specify the density of rigid elements in Abaqus/CAE.
|
||
|
||
# Geometry in Abaqus/Explicit
|
||
|
||
In Abaqus/Explicit you can specify the cross-sectional area or thickness for all of the rigid elements that are part of a rigid body. Abaqus/Explicit assumes a default zero cross-sectional area or thickness if you do not specify one.
|
||
|
||
<!-- source-page: 542 -->
|
||
|
||
To account for a continuously varying thickness of a surface formed by rigid elements in Abaqus/Explicit, you can specify the thickness of the rigid elements at the nodes.
|
||
|
||
Specifying a nonzero thickness for rigid elements that form a rigid surface in a contact pair definition can be used to account for the effect of surface thickness in the contact constraint. It also enables the use of the double-sided surface contact feature with rigid surfaces formed by rigid elements.
|
||
|
||
Input File Usage: Use the following option in Abaqus/Explicit to specify the cross-sectional area or thickness for all rigid elements in a rigid body:
|
||
|
||
\*RIGID BODY cross-sectional area or thickness
|
||
|
||
Use both of the following options to specify a continuously varying thickness for a surface formed by rigid elements:
|
||
|
||
\*NODAL THICKNESS \*RIGID BODY, NODAL THICKNESS
|
||
|
||
Abaqus/CAE Usage: You cannot specify the cross-sectional area or thickness of rigid elements in Abaqus/CAE.
|
||
|
||
# Offset in Abaqus/Explicit
|
||
|
||
In Abaqus/Explicit you can define the distance (measured as a fraction of the rigid element’s thickness) from the rigid element’s midsurface to the reference surface containing the element’s nodes. The positive values of the offset are in the direction of the element normal. When the offset distance is 0.5, the top surface is the reference surface. When the offset distance is −0.5, the bottom surface is the reference surface. The default offset distance is 0, which indicates that the middle surface of the rigid element is the reference surface. You can specify a value for the offset distance that is greater in magnitude than half the rigid element’s thickness.
|
||
|
||
Since no element-level calculations are performed for rigid elements, a specified offset affects only the handling of contact pairs with rigid surfaces formed by rigid elements (see “Element-based surface definition,” Section 2.3.2). Mass and rotary inertia contributions to the rigid body from rigid elements defined with an offset are computed as if the offset is zero.
|
||
|
||
Input File Usage: Use the following option in Abaqus/Explicit to specify a surface offset for a rigid element:
|
||
|
||
\*RIGID BODY, OFFSET=offset
|
||
|
||
The OFFSET parameter accepts a value or a label (SPOS or SNEG). Specifying SPOS is equivalent to specifying a value of 0.5; specifying SNEG is equivalent to specifying a value of −0.5.
|
||
|
||
Abaqus/CAE Usage: You cannot specify an offset for rigid elements in Abaqus/CAE.

# Element property definition

|

For R2D2, RB2D2, and RB3D2 elements you can specify the cross-sectional area of the element. In Abaqus/Standard if no area is given, unit area is assumed; the area is required in Abaqus/Explicit.
|
||
|
||
For RAX2, R3D3, and R3D4 elements you can specify the thickness of the element. In Abaqus/Standard if no thickness is given, unit thickness is assumed; the thickness is required in Abaqus/Explicit.
|
||
|
||
The cross-sectional area or element thickness is used for the purpose of defining body forces, which are given in units of force per unit volume, and, in Abaqus/Explicit, determining the total mass.
