16.27 *PRE-TENSION SECTION: Associate a pre-tension node with a pre-tension section.

This option is used to associate a pre-tension node with a pre-tension section.

Product: ABAQUS/Standard

Type: Model data

Level: Part, Part instance, Assembly

Reference:

•“Prescribed assembly loads,” Section 27.5.1 ofthe ABAQUS A nalysisUser ’sManual

Required parameter:

NODE

Set this parameter equal to eitherthe pre-tension node number or the name of a node set containing

the pre-tension node. If the name of a node set is chosen, the node set must contain exactly one

node.

Required, mutually exclusive parameters:

ELEMENT

Set this parameter equal to either the element number of the truss or beam element used to deﬁne

the pre-tension section or the name of an element set containingthe truss or beam element used to

deﬁne the pre-tension section. If the nam e of an element set is chosen, the element set must contain

exactly one element.

SURFACE

Set this parameter equal to the name of the surface deﬁnition (*SURFACE)that deﬁnes the pre-

tension section (when continuum elements are used).

Data line to deﬁne the normal to the section (optional):

First (and only) data line:

1. First component of the normal.

2. Second component of the normal.

3. Thirdcomponent of the normal.
