Products: Abaqus/Standard Abaqus/Explicit
Benefits: You can now specify multiple coupling constraints on a surface via a single coupling definition instead of multiple definitions. Weights for a distributing type coupling are now the same as those formed using fasteners.
Description: It is now easy to specify multiple coupling definitions on a given surface just by including all the reference nodes in a single reference node set instead of defining separate coupling definitions. The weights for cloud nodes of a distributing type coupling are identical to those formed using fasteners.
