My idea is that when the Connector is active, any small movement of the elements in x,y or z direction should lock the element which is exactly what i want in my simulation. The four zeroes represent the Lower and upper boundary displacement limits, Lower and upper boundary force limits respectively. But i use ABAQUS implicit, so i have used the following code. I would like to mention that the dependencies parameter in CONNECTOR LOCK is available only in ABAQUS explicit. When i change the connector element to JOIN, the simulation works but the connectors are active from the beginning. However when i tried the above coding with some other displacement driven conditions, the simulation gives "time increment required is less then minimum specified" eror. Thanks for the suggestions Bartosz and IceBreakerSours!!! RE: Couple two node/element sets at a later step/ activate connector elements at a later step IceBreakerSours (Bioengineer) 15 Jul 15 18:21
