RigidElementΒΆ
RigidElement
is an MpcElement
, with virtually infinite stiffness. Nodes contained in a RigidElement
have no relative displacement regarding eachother.
Best usecase is rigid diaphragm in structures.
Some other use cases of rigid element can be found at: https://mashayekhi.iut.ac.ir/sites/mashayekhi.iut.ac.ir/files//files_course/lesson_16.pdf
This does represents a nondeformable element or element with infinite stiffness which does not deform. For more info see http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/850733/RigidElements-in-BriefFiniteElement-NET
