findStructuralBC
Find structural boundary conditions and boundary loads assigned to geometric region
Domain-specific structural workflow is not recommended. New features might not be compatible with this workflow. For help migrating your existing code to the unified finite element workflow, see Migration from Domain-Specific to Unified Workflow.
Description
returns the structural boundary conditions and boundary loads assigned to the region
specified by sbca
= findStructuralBC(boundaryConditions
,RegionType
,RegionID
)RegionType
and RegionID
. The
function returns structural boundary conditions assigned by structuralBC
and boundary loads assigned by structuralBoundaryLoad
.
Examples
Find Structural Boundary Conditions
Find the structural boundary conditions for the faces of a 3-D geometry.
Create a structural model and include a block geometry.
structuralmodel = createpde("structural","static-solid");
Include the block geometry in the model and plot the geometry.
importGeometry(structuralmodel,"Block.stl"); pdegplot(structuralmodel,"FaceLabels","on","FaceAlpha",0.5)
Specify the surface traction on face 1 of the block.
structuralBoundaryLoad(structuralmodel,"Face",1, ... "SurfaceTraction", ... [100;10;300]);
Specify the pressure on face 3 of the block.
structuralBoundaryLoad(structuralmodel,"Face",3,"Pressure",300);
Apply free constraint on faces 5 and 6 of the block.
structuralBC(structuralmodel,"Face",[5,6],"Constraint","free");
Check the boundary condition specification for faces 1 and 3.
sbca = findStructuralBC(structuralmodel.BoundaryConditions, ... "Face",[1,3]); sbcaFace1 = sbca(1)
sbcaFace1 = StructuralBC with properties: RegionType: 'Face' RegionID: 1 Vectorized: 'off' Boundary Constraints and Enforced Displacements Displacement: [] XDisplacement: [] YDisplacement: [] ZDisplacement: [] Constraint: [] Radius: [] Reference: [] Label: [] Boundary Loads Force: [] SurfaceTraction: [3x1 double] Pressure: [] TranslationalStiffness: [] Label: []

Check the boundary condition specification for faces 5 and 6.
sbca = findStructuralBC(structuralmodel.BoundaryConditions, ... "Face",[5,6]); sbcaFace5 = sbca(1)
