Create Constraint / Displacement

  Constraints or displacements can be placed on different entity types in the geometry.

As soon as the constraint is created, it will be added to the Display Tree under Constraints. Constraints are grouped by sets. Multiple sets can be created with different constraints.

Create Constraint / Displacement Window

Name

The constraint name.

SPC Set

is the number given to the constraint set. This is common Nastran Terminology.

LCS

the coordinate system for the applied constraint or displacement.

SPC Type

specifies the SPC Type.

Node Set ID

specifies the ID number of the Node Set.

Entity Type

the type of entity to which the constraint or displacement will be applied.

Directional Displacement

You can restrict the movement of the selected entities by disabling the fields. When enabled, you can specify the specific value of the displacement.

Rotational Displacement

You can restrict the movement of the selected entities by disabling the fields. When enabled, you can specify the specific value of the displacement.
