You can apply connector behaviors to connection types that have available components of relative motion. Available components of relative motion are displacements and rotations that are not kinematically constrained. Multiple connector behaviors can be defined in a connector section. You can specify the following connector behaviors:
Elasticity: Define spring-like elastic behavior.
Damping: Define dashpot-like damping behavior.
Friction: Define Coulomb-like and hysteretic friction using predefined or user-defined friction models.
Plasticity: Define plastic behavior.
Damage: Define damage initiation and evolution behavior.
Stop: Define limit values of the admissible range of positions.
Lock: Specify a user-defined locking criterion.
Failure: Define limit values for force, moment, or position.
Reference Length: Define the translational or angular positions at which constitutive forces and moments are zero.
Integration: Specify implicit or explicit time integration for elasticity, damping, and friction (ABAQUS/Explicit analyses only).
