I'm having troubble constraining the rotational DOF (of an RBE2 reference node) in an axisymmetric analysis. First I noticed that Mentat just ignored this request, just applying the translational constraint on the node; then, after manually editing the .dat file to what I believe should be the correct form of the FIXED DISP card, I still couldn't make Marc actually constrain it (from the .out file I see that only the translational DOF is constrained). Following is the 3rd to 10th block of the FIXED DISP card (excl. blocks 6 & 7) that I tried:
===================================================================
1 0 0 0 1 0fix_BB-supp_axial-rot
0.000000000000000+0 0.000000000000000+0
0 0
1 6
2
fix_BB-supp_axial-rot_nodes
===================================================================
Then I tried constraining all the rotational DOFs, in case there would be some convention regarding the (single) rot DOF in an axisymmetric analysis, viz.
===================================================================
1 0 0 0 1 0fix_BB-supp_axial-rot
0.000000000000000+0 0.000000000000000+0 0.000000000000000+0 0.000000000000000+0
0 0
1 4 5 6
2
fix_BB-supp_axial-rot_nodes
======================================================================
Still, the .out file tells me I'm just constraining DOF 1...
I have successfully constrained the rotational DOF in Marc in 3d analyses, so I know that is possible; is it not possible to do the same in axisymmetric analyses?
