Use the Slip (perfect) node to prescribe zero normal velocity, and therefore also zero tangential stress, condition on the boundary. Add this node from the
Mechanical submenu. This represents the ideal or perfect slip case, as opposed to non-ideal condition that can be modeled with the
Slip Wall feature. The condition reads
When running a model with a perfectly matched layer (PML), it is recommended to not combine a Slip (perfect) condition with a rational scaling in the PML, as this will lead to a singularity and an error.
Per default, the Slip (perfect) condition uses a Nitsche formulation (also often referred to as discontinuous Galerkin or penalty formulation) to prevent locking problems on curved surfaces.
Select Weak constraints as the
Constraint if you want to switch from the default Nitsche formulation (
Automatic) to a Lagrange multiplier formulation for the perfect slip condition (this formulation is not suited for an iterative solver). The Lagrange multiplier formulation also prevents locking problems.
