Utilizing Remote Points Properly Using Ansys Mechanical — Lesson 4

Remote points are used to simplify the behaviour and kinematics of certain portions of the geometry with a single point. They help the user in defining remote boundary conditions like remote displacement and remote force along with elements like joints, springs, beam connections, point masses, moment loads, etc. which simplifies the model by reducing the complexity and hence the focus is only on the geometrical portions of the model that are of primary interest. This course will discuss the proper use of remote points along with the different behaviours of remote points. Benefits of using remote points along with certain aspects which the user must be aware of when using them are discussed. // INTERESTED IN MORE?
