I have a cube as a model, and i'm trying to apply a boundary condition that it's basicaly a shear force in one of the cube faces. But the particularity of this BC is that i have to define a UNIFORM displacement (every element having the same displacement) on this shear forced face. How can i do that?

    Hi,

     

    You can apply enforced displacement using SPCD/SPC. Please search for Enforced displacement in forum and you will get related posts.

    Can you tell me if it's possible to make a tcl script, in terms of equations (relation betwen each pair of nodes on face) to automize this?
