Imposing displacements

I need to calculate the stress generated by a bushing installed by interference. I know the interference amount and I am imposing this interference as displacement to the nodes of the hole that accommodate the bushing. I did that with SPC where dof1 = 0.0028 mm (in a cylindrical coordinate system). Is this the right way to do it? I didn't get any results.

 

Thank you

    Hi

    it is difficult to determine what can be the cause.

    if you defined the local cylindrical coordinate system, the reference for displacement need to be set for the nodes you need to have the radial displacement applied.

    I attach here an example , I hope is similar to what you need.

     

    I hope this is helpful

    Regards
