Re: Restrict displacement in one direction (Linear elasticity)

Thank you Peter. Found those test cases but I am still doing something wrong. I added Apply Limiter = Logical True to the solver section and Displacement 2 Lower Limit = Variable Coordinate 2 Real 0.0 to the boundary condition section. I seem to be getting the same results regardless of the text in ...

Restrict displacement in one direction (Linear elasticity)

How can I define a boundary condition that restricts displacement to one direction only? For example: Let's say I have a component laying on a floor which is the XY-plane. The component is above Z = 0 and the bottom plane is at Z = 0. I would like to define a displacement constraint so that displace...

Remote mass load on a structure

I'm trying to perform a eigenvalue analysis on a test bench structure where the tested component rests on top of the test bench. To make the meshing easier and solving faster I would like to remove the tested component from the model but maintain it's effect on the vibration frequencies. Is it possi...
