Definition

In RADIOSS, a kinematic condition is a nodal constraint applied to a set of nodes. There are several different types of nodal constraints:

•Rigid Wall
•Rigid Body
•Boundary Conditions
•Tied Interface
•Cylindrical Joint
•Rigid Link
•Gear Type Joint

Numerical methods available in RADIOSS that apply to the kinematic conditions are:

•Penalty method

- Rigid walls

•Master slave kinematic condition

- Interface type 2, rigid body

•Local kinematic condition

- Rigid link, cylindrical joint

•Lagrange multiplier

- Old and new interfaces, rigid wall, rigid body, etc.
