r3.03.09 3D Harlequin Connector — Beam

Summary:

This document explains the Arlequin method developed in Code_Aster to link 3D continuous medium modeling and beam modeling.

In 3D, this connection results in linear relationships linking the movements of the set of 3D nodes (3 degrees of freedom per node) linked to all the beam nodes (6 degrees of freedom per node).
