◆ GetFixed()

virtual bool chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAbase::GetFixed ( )
pure virtual

Implemented in chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAcurv, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDD, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzD, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyz, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzrot, and chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzP.

◆ SetFixed()

virtual void chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAbase::SetFixed ( bool  mev)
pure virtual

Set the 'fixed' state of the node.

If true, its current field value is not changed by solver.

Implemented in chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAcurv, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzDD, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzD, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyz, chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzrot, and chrono::fea::ChNodeFEAxyzP.
