Node displacements

Node displacements are added in a local coordinate system. See Design arrangment.

The dialog box shown below is opened.

Load case 

Option for the load case. Here you can directly insert a new load case.

The node displacement will be inserted in the global coordinate system . When for a particular node, a local coordinate system is inserted, the displacement will be inserted relative to this coordinate system.

dx

The amplitude of the displacement in mm in the x-direction

dz

The amplitude of the displacement in mm in the z-direction

dr

The amplitude of the rotation in mrad around the y-axis

Table

Node displacements can also be added/changed in a table. It does not matter. It is also possible to change in between graphical input and numerical input via tables.
