RIGID BODY STOPPER

 

This function allows the user to define a RIGID BODY STOPPER.  A RIGID BODY STOPPER provides a convenient way of controlling the motion of rigid tooling in the forming process.  For a detailed description, refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual.  The available options are shown in Figure 5.7.13.
