The cartesian displacement imposed condition allows you to impose the displacement as a combination of Cartesian-based rotation and translation within the computational domain. You can modify the x, y, or z coordinates of the first and/or the second point on the axis of rotation. You can also modify the angular displacement along with the x,y, or z components of any translational displacement. This allows you to define flexion, torsion, and so on.
To define the cartesian displacement imposed on a boundary section, you will need to do the following:
Select Cartesian displacement imposed from the list of boundary conditions.
Cartesian displacement imposed
To define the first of two points for the axis of rotation, select Modify 1st point in the axis from the menu.
Modify 1st point in the
axisand provide the x, y, and z coordinates of the first axis point.
To define the second of two points for the axis of rotation, select Modify 2nd point in the axis from the menu.
Modify 2nd point in the axis and provide the x, y, and z coordinates of the second axis point.
To define the angular displacement, select Modify angular displacement from the menu.
Modify angular displacement and provide the angle of displacement.
To define the translation displacement, select Modify translation displacement from the menu.
Modify translation displacement and provide the x, y, and z components of the translation displacement.
Select the Upper level menu.
