*SUBSTRUCTURE PROPERTY

18.45 *SUBSTRUCTURE PROPERTY: Translate,rotate, and/or reﬂect substructures.

This option is used to deﬁne properties for a substructure. It is r equired for all substructures in a model.

Product: ABAQUS/Standard

Type: Model data

Level: This option is not supported in a model deﬁned in terms of an assembly of part i nstances.

Reference:

•“Using substructures,” Section 10.1.1of the ABAQ US Analysis User’sManual

Required parameter:

ELSET

Set this parameter equal to the name of the element set containing the substructures for which

properties are being deﬁned.

Optional parameter:

POSITION TOL

Set this parameter equal to the tolerance on the distance between usage level nodes and the

corresponding substructure nodes. If this parameter is omitted, the default is a tolerance of 10−4

times the largest overall dimension within the substructure. If the parameter is given with a value

of 0.0, the position of the retained nodes is not checked.

Data lines to translate a substructure:

First (and only) line:

1. Valueof the translation to be applied in the global X-direction.

2. Valueof the translation to be applied in the global Y-direction.

3. Valueof the translation to be applied in the global Z-direction.

Data lines to translate and/or rotate a substructure:

First line:

1. Valueof the translation to be applied in the global X-direction.

2. Valueof the translation to be applied in the global Y-direction.
