Summary of Orientations and Local Directions Flexible Multibody Systems with ABAQUS Copyright 2006 ABAQUS, Inc. Introduction Copyright 2006 ABAQUS, Inc. L2.4 Introduction ? General characteristics of connector elements ? Connector elements model discrete point-to-point physical connections between deformable or rigid bodies or can be connected to ground. ? Example: typical connections in automotive suspension systems Strut Knuckle AXIAL Tie rod CYLINDRICAL LINK Rack and pinion Control arm JOIN CYLINDRICAL Typical connections in automotive suspension Flexible Multibody Systems with ABAQUS Copyright 2006 ABAQUS, Inc. L2.5 Introduction ? Connector elements have relative displacements and rotations that are local to the element, which are referred to as components of relative motions CORM . ? Connector elements impose kinematic constraints. For example: ? Door connected to a frame through a hinge ? Two panels of sheet metal spot welded together ? Constant velocity joints ? Connector elements may include nonlinear force-versus- displacement or velocity behavior in their available components of relative motion. ? Example: muscle force resisting the rotation of a knee joint in a crash-test occupant dummy model. ? Connector elements can provide comprehensive kinematic and kinetic output describing the connection. Flexible Multibody Systems with ABAQUS Copyright 2006 ABAQUS, Inc. L2.6 Introduction ? Connector elements are functionally defined by specifying the connection attributes. ? Connection types ? For example: axial, hinge, weld, constant velocity joints, link, beam, etc. ? Local connector
