Incremental Potential Contact (IPC) is for robust and accurate time stepping of nonlinear elastodynamics. IPC guarantees intersection- and inversion-free trajectories regardless of materials, time-step sizes, velocities, or deformation severity.
Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to control the degrees of freedom when we are applying boundary conditions. For example, if I wanted to design a uniaxial extension boundary condition, I only want to apply zero velocity to the x-component of the nodes I select.
Currently, I have to set the velocity components of all the selected nodes but in a uniaxial displacement experiment example pulling in the x-direction, I want the y & z components to be free to contract due to the poison effect.
