findStructuralBC

Find structural boundary conditions and boundary loads assigned to geometric region

Description

example

sbca= findStructuralBC(structuralmodel.BoundaryConditions,RegionType,RegionID)returns the structural boundary conditions and boundary loads assigned to the region specified byRegionTypeandRegionID. The function returns structural boundary conditions assigned bystructuralBCand boundary loads assigned bystructuralBoundaryLoad.

Find the structural boundary conditions for the faces of a 3-D geometry.

Create a structural model and include a block geometry.

structuralmodel = createpde('structural','static-solid');

Include the block geometry in the model and plot the geometry.

importGeometry(structuralmodel,“Block.stl”); pdegplot(structuralmodel,'FaceLabels','on','FaceAlpha',0.5)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains 3 objects of type quiver, patch, line.

Specify the surface traction on face 1 of the block.

structuralBoundaryLoad(structuralmodel,'Face',1,...'SurfaceTraction',...[100;10;300]);

Specify the pressure on face 3 of the block.

structuralBoundaryLoad(structuralmodel,'Face',3,'Pressure',300);

Apply free constraint on faces 5 and 6 of the block.

structuralBC(structuralmodel,'Face'(5,6],'Constraint','free');

Check the boundary condition specification for faces 1 and 3.

sbca = findStructuralBC(structuralmodel.BoundaryConditions,...'Face',[1,3]); sbcaFace1 = sbca(1)

Check the boundary condition specification for faces 5 and 6.

sbca = findStructuralBC(structuralmodel.BoundaryConditions,...'Face'(5,6]); sbcaFace5 = sbca(1)
