sel hybrid create
command
Syntax
- sel hybrid create keyword ... <range>
Primary keywords:
by-line from-geometry cid dowel-length faceplate group property segments segment-length spacing tension
Create a hybrid bolt element. Note that when hybrid reinforcement is used with fully deformable blocks, the blocks must be discretized into zones before reinforcement locations are specified.
- from-geometry s <range>
Create hybrid bolt from the geometry set named s. The range applies to the list of edges in the geometry set.
- cid i
Set the collection ID of the hybrid bolt. By default, a single collection ID is assigned to all hybrid bolt elements created with a single command. This allows to user to identify contiguous bolts made up of multiple elements.
- dowel-length f
Set the half-length of dowel segments.
- faceplate
Add a faceplate at the start of the hybrid bolt (x1,y1,z1). The faceplate is simulated by attaching the first node to the grid. The faceplate has infinite strength.
- property i
Set the property number assigned to the hybrid bolts.
- segments i
Set the number of segments into which the hybrid bolt is divided. Only one of \(segments\) or \(segment-length\) needs to be specified.
- segment-length f
Set the length of each segment. Only one of \(segments\) or \(segment-length\) needs to be specified.
- spacing keyword
Set the node spacing according to the supplied keyword.
- constant
- The nodes will be located a constant distance apart, regardless of the locations of joints along the bolt length. This is the default.
- variable
The node spacing will change to ensure at least one node between each pair of joints. Warning: this can result in very small bolt segments which may rapidly rupture due to large axial strains.
- tension f
Set initial tension force present in the hybrid bolt.
