FEA Support

Structure for the support tuple = ("Support Name", "Value"). "Support Name" defines the reference name for the support being specified. The "Value" can either be a JSON String dictionary (see Section JSON String Dictionary) or a single string keyword (see Section Single Value String).

JSON String Dictionary

If "Value" is JSON string dictionary (eg. "Value" = {"groupName": "plateEdge", "dofSupport": 123456}) the following keywords ( = default values) may be used:

  • groupName = "(no default)"
    Single or list of capsConstraint names on which to apply the support (e.g. "Name1" or ["Name1","Name2",...]. If not provided, the constraint tuple name will be used.
  • dofSupport = 0
    Component numbers / degrees of freedom that will be supported (123 - zero translation in all three directions).

Single Value String

If "Value" is a string, the string value may correspond to an entry in a predefined support lookup table. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED!!!!
