Matrice element

Altair Forum User

Hello,

I want to model a ball screw feed drive and need to couple rotational dofs with transitional dofs. Other programms like patran and samcef realize this with a so called matrix element. I can't find an element like this in Hypermesh. Does anybode have a clue how this could work?

Thanks!

I think I would try an MPC equation. If you do try it out on a small model first to make sure it moves as you expect.
