apply displacement field
Dear all,
I want to apply a displacement field on nodes in order to apply a deformation according to that displacement.
I have a txt file (from CMM machine) containing x y and z coordinates (in z I have the displacement that I want to apply).
I create a field which read the txt file, however when I use the 'Realize' function, if I select displacement as a 'Field type' the algorithm does not work while, if I select 'Force' or 'Temperature' it works.
Do you have any idea why it does not work?
Thanks in advance,
Gabriele

Hello Gabriele
Please make sure that the displacement data is in this format :
Source : https://help.altair.com/hwdesktop/hwx/topics/pre_processing/entities/fields_r.htm?zoom_highlight=Fields
The reason is the displacement will have 6 dofs so each point will have 6 numerical values (3 for rotation and 3 for translation)
