Function File: [rbe3] = fem_pre_mesh_rbe3_from_surf(mesh, group_id, master_node_idx) ¶

: […] = fem_pre_mesh_rbe3_from_surf(…, elem_type) ¶

Builds rbe3 elements from specified groups of tria6 elements and assigns weighting factors proportional to equivalent surface area

mesh … Finite element mesh data structure

group_id … array of group id-numbers used to identify surface elements with slave nodes

master_node_idx … array of master node indices for rbe3 elements

elem_type … the element type addressed by group_id (e.g. "tria6", "iso4", "quad8")

rbe3 … rigid body constraints
