Displacement Command

The Displacement command sets displacement conditions to all nodes near the line specified by the FixLine command that encloses it, or to a single node specified by the FixPoint command that encloses it:

Displacement (dir),<(disp)>

where

Skewed Displacement Boundary Conditions

To apply displacement along a direction skewed from the x and y directions, the process is:

  1. Rotate the nodes using a Rotate command in the same FixLine or FixPoint block
  2. Use Displacement command where x or y now refer to those directions in the rotated axis system.

Notes

  1. The Displacement command is only allowed for FEA analyses.
