Displacement Vector

Hello,

 

I have a question over how to obtain displacement vectors? I also have a question on how to set the vector projection as a boundary condition in a different model? In the file I've attached below, I projected the nodes of the Pre_Tx_Hex_Morphed model to the surface of the Pre_Tx_Surface (or at least I think I did, not sure if I did that correctly.) How do I obtain the displacement vector of this in data form? Also, how do I set these values as the boundary condition if I were to create a whole new model?

 

Thanks,

EJ

    Hi @samus970

     

    I am not sure if shape constraint vectors can be requested, can you try with Control cards>> SHAPE and check if that helps?

     

    You can also check DVGRID. The file contains shape variable definitions for the displacements or eigenvectors resulting from linear static, inertia relief, or normal modes analyses.
