- Figure 1 – Wall Interface
Purpose:
This interface is used for showing, creating, modifying, and deleting *RIGIDWALL cards in LS-DYNA. The main advantage of this interface is the ability to graphically view the various rigidwall definitions with the flexibility of positioning them using translate, rotate, and reflect functions.
Controls:
Show – Show existing *RIGIDWALL entities
Modify – Modify existing *RIGIDWALL entities- Create – Create new *RIGIDWALLN entities
- Delete – Delete existing *RIGIDWALL entities
For Show, Modify, and Delete, the Entity Operation Interface is displayed in the secondary controls area.
