Edit: User-Defined MPL

Description

Edits the definition of a user-defined multi-point link (MPL).

Link connectivity is edited in three steps as described in Edit: Multi-point Link.

Dialog

Points

Number of nodes connected to the MPL, excluding the slave node.

Constant

Constant used in the constraint equation.

Nonlinear Control Freedom Case

Freedom case used to scale the constant during a nonlinear analysis.

Node Table

List of nodes connected to the MPL, including the constrained degrees of freedom and coefficients appearing in the constraint equation. The first node is the slave node and all the others are the master nodes.

Clear

Discards the data in the dialog, allowing for another MPL to be selected for editing.

Apply

Checks the link connectivity and other data, and if it is valid, the MPL is updated.
