Hi...Everyone.....

 

       I have to do linear static analysis. I want to do specify static displacement on set of nodes, i have used DAREA to specify the same. But i am getting unreasonable results. Is there any other way to specify the static displacement on the node?.

 

Thanks in advance image/emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>

    Hi Ramsubu93,

     

    Try with SPCD instead and check whether you get expected results or not.

    Thanks sir.........

     

    But in Linear static loadstep, where to refer the SPCD?

    Can i refer SPCD in DEFORM?

    First you will need to create a SPCD on the required nodes, this will be in a load collector. 

     

    Then you need to create a SPC load collector and constrain the DOFs specified in SPCD in this SPC collector,

     

    Then Reference SPCD load collector in LOAD , and SPCs in SPC section of the loadcase.
