Virtual Parts
 |
Virtual Parts are structures
created without a geometric support. They represent bodies for which no
geometry model is available, but which play a role in the structural
analysis of single part or assembly systems.
Virtual Parts are used to transmit action at a distance. Therefore they can be thought of as rigid bodies, except for the case where a lumped flexibility is explicitly introduced by the means of a spring element.

Create Rigid Virtual Parts: Generates a stiff transmission rigid virtual part. |

Create Smooth Virtual Parts: Generates a soft transmission rigid virtual part. |
 |
Create Contact Virtual Parts: Generates a contact transmission rigid virtual part. |
 |
Create Rigid Spring Virtual Parts: Generates a stiff transmission elastic spring virtual part. |
 |
Create Smooth Spring Virtual Parts: Generates a soft transmission elastic spring virtual part. |
 |
Create Periodicity Conditions: simulate periodicity
conditions by linking together the degrees of freedom of two faces that
undergo transformation.
