rigidDiaphragm
(perpDirn, rNodeTag, *cNodeTags)¶ Create a multi-point constraint between nodes. These objects will constrain certain degrees-of-freedom at the listed secondary nodes to move as if in a rigid plane with the primary (retained) node. To enforce this constraint,
Transformation
constraint handler is recommended.perpDirn
(int)direction perpendicular to the rigid plane (i.e. direction 3 corresponds to the 1-2 plane) rNodeTag
(int)integer tag identifying the retained (primary) node cNodeTags
(list (int))integar tags identifying the constrained (secondary) nodes
