enforced displacement with prestress duu to free rotation

I am running a simulation where a simple rotation(RFORCE) is simulated first and then added as a prestresses case in another subbcase with enforced displacement .

The deformations in the results should be the sum of enfotrced and deformations resulted by simple rotation .

but in results it is displaying max displacement same as enforced displacement alone.

Please make sure to specify RFORCE load collector under load in subcase 2.

Sir

Thanks for the reply ..

I did the same . My doubt is in the second subcase , the deformations are the result of both (Enforced+Rotation)subcases or it will deform by only distance given by enforced displacement as we are forcing it to displace by an amount(enforced displacement value)

Please refer the attached document from online help for Prestressed Linear Analysis. Read the full document with the results section.

Thanks sir

can you share me detailed document regarding the same ( which also can explain how to superimpose results ...etc) with some solved example problems

The results of both loadcases can be superimposed in Hyperview to get the final results.

To superimpose the result in Hyperview use Derived Loadsteps. Please refer to the attached pdf (step 5)for same.
