Analysis of Switched-Rigid Floating Oscillator

In explicit finite element simulations, a technique called deformable-to-rigid (D2R) switching is used routinely to reduce the computation time. Using the D2R option, the deformable parts in the model can be switched to rigid and reverted back to deformable when needed during the analysis. The time...
