This command is used to construct a multi-point constraint between nodes.
equalDOF $rNodeTag $cNodeTag $dof1 $dof2 ...
$rNodeTag |
integer tag identifying the retained, or master node (rNode) |
$cNodeTag |
integer tag identifying the constrained, or slave node (cNode) |
$dof1 $dof2 ... |
nodal degrees-of-freedom that are constrained at the cNode to be the same as those at the rNode Valid range is from 1 through ndf, the number of nodal degrees-of-freedom. |
EXAMPLE:
equalDOF 2 3 1 3 5; |
# impose the traslational displacements in x and z directions, and rotation about the y-axis of node 3 to be the same as those of node 2. |
