Prescribed Motion to a body

Hi,

 

I am trying to do a simulation with prescribed body motion.

 

I referred the two links mentioned above to do my simulation and my simulation was a failure.

There is no displacement when viewed in the h3d file.

These are the screenshots of what I basically did:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>img1.png<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>img2.png

 

The node at the end of the system has been assigned a local coordinate system and SPC, SPCD pair has been defined at the same node.

Another issue I noticed was that the SPCD always resets itself to 0. (I want to define 30)

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hello Kamath,

     

    Activate the Dof in which you want to apply the motion and turn off rest of the Dofs. In the field enter 30 as shown in the image.
