Meeting Girolamo, René, and Leonhard: Connector Elements in a Nutshell

The fourth installment of my nutshell series will compress the 2-day Abaqus seminar about connector elements by a factor of 15. In addition to the basics that will get you going with this great, versatile, but a bit alien FEA functionality you will learn about some giants of science, why Italian comedy is relevant to multi-body systems, and how to become a wizard.

Highlights:

• Connection definition (type, orientation, behavior)
• Components of relative motion
• Late-career constraint innovations
