Translational Joint is a type of joint which allows one part to translate along a vector in respect of another part. The parts can only translate, not rotate, in respect […]

In FEA, when two separate surfaces touch each other such that they become mutually tangent then they are said to be in “contact”. Contact conditions are created when an assembly […]

Elastic Support: An Elastic Support defines an elastic foundation between the selected faces of a part or assembly and the ground. The Elastic Support is based on a Foundation Stiffness, […]
