Re-organization of coupled and decoupled links and of the various force terms in EUROPLEXUS
This report presents a re-organization of the implementation of coupled and decoupled links in the EUROPLEXUS code. The possiblity is added to treat user-selected decoupled constraints also before coupled constraints.
The user may customize the order in which the various decoupled constraints are applied by specific commands from the input file, without the need of programming in the code. This greatly facilitates experimenting with the various types of constraints available and may help solving possible issues in complex industrial applications.
In addition, the various force terms are better defined and complemented by new terms, especially in view of easier, clearer and more efficient post-processing.
