    Hi,

     

    No, only PLOAD4, Force1/force2 are supported load types in OptiStruct as the follower load. More load types will be added in the coming future.

    Hi Prakash,

    Thank you for quick reply,

    In case of NLGEOM using CORD3R (local coordinate) i can apply follower load.

    Is it possible in NLGEOM to apply enforced displacement that can act like follower displacement?

    Hi @Karthic

     

    Sorry for a late reply. I don't see any restriction with CORD3R on help regarding imposed displacement.
