Node Displacements (Forced Node Displacements)

Node Displacements Icon

The dialog box shown below is opened.

Node Displacements Dialog

Load Case

Option for the load case.

Displacement Input

The node displacement will be inserted in the global coordinate system. When for a particular node, a local coordinate system is inserted, the displacement will be inserted relative to this coordinate system.

dx

The amplitude of the displacement in mm in the x-direction

dy

The amplitude of the displacement in mm in the y-direction

dz

The amplitude of the displacement in mm in the z-direction

drx

The amplitude of the rotation in mrad around the x-axis

dry

The amplitude of the rotation in mrad around the y-axis

drz

The amplitude of the rotation in mrad around the z-axis

Table

Node displacements can also be added/changed in a table. It does not matter. It is also possible to change in between graphical input and numerical input via tables.
