KINEMATIC: Define a kinematic coupling constraint.
This option is used to define a kinematic coupling constraint. It must be used in conjunction with the
*
COUPLING option.
Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Type: Model data
Level: Part, Part instance, Assembly

There are no parameters associated with this option.
Data lines to specify the degrees of freedom to be constrained:
First line:
1. First degree of freedom constrained. See “Conventions,” Section 1.2.2 of the
ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual, for a definition of the numbering of degrees of freedom
in ABAQUS. If this field is left blank, all degrees of freedom will be constrained.
2. Last degree of freedom constrained. If this field is left blank, the degree of freedom specified
in the first field will be the only one constrained.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to specify constraints for different degrees of freedom. When
the ORIENTATION parameter is specified on the associated
*
COUPLING option, the degrees of freedom
are in the referenced local system in the initial configuration; otherwise, they are in the global system. In
either case these directions will rotate with the reference node in large-displacement analyses (when the
NLGEOM parameter is included on the
*
STEP option).
