Displacement instead of loading

Altair Forum User

Hi,

 

I have created a rubber material with  pbush1D.

 

I need to apply a displacement on element/ node instead of force for running a static analysis.

 

So how can I define displacement to the element/ node ?

Hi,

 

not sure it is something special to the pbush 1d but enforced displacements are defined with analysis - constraints

check the DOF you want to constrain and impose it by giving a number of units length which it should move in your static loadcase.

 

Best regards,
