Main Help → All Commands → FEA Boundary Conditions → Displacement
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
(dir)
is x
or y
(or 1
or 2
) to specify the direction of the applied displacement. In axisymmetric calculations use x
for R
and y
for Z
.(disp)
specifies magnitude of the displacement in length units. It can be specified by a number or by a user-defined function of nodal point position, entered as quoted text. If (disp)
is omitted, the default displacement is 0.
To apply displacement along a direction skewed from the x and y directions, the process is:
x
or y
now refer to those directions in the rotated axis system.Displacement
command is only allowed for FEA analyses.
