*RIGIDSTRUC

Data format:

A minimum of three lines and as many lines as required to define the nodes:

NMAS TIME
INO11 INO12 ...
INO21 INO22 ...

Purpose :

To rigidify nodes with respect to a master node

Restriction :

All nodes must have been previoulsy defined

Details :

Parameter	Description
IMAS	Master node number
TIME	optional parameter : if TIME >=0 , all slaves nodes due to rigidification will be back to their initial degrees of freedom
INO11 INO12 ...	List of nodes on the first line
INO21 INO22 ...	List of nodes on the second line

Note

if the master node is present in the list of nodes, it is ignored.

If a node is already slave, it is ignored.

If a node has some of its translational DOFs blocked and some of its rotational DOFs blocked, it is ignored.

If a node is completely free, its six DOFs are connected to the master node.

If a node has its three translational DOFs free but some of its rotational DOFs constraints or blocked, only its translational DOFS are linked to the master node.
