Define Displacement Boundary

Simulation: BoundariesDisplacement Boundary

In this dialog, the properties of a displacement boundary can be defined.

Name

Declare the name for the displacement boundary. Each displacement boundary must have a unique name. This edit field is disabled if the properties of an already existing displacement boundary are modified.

Displacement

Carthesian: Define X, Y and/or Z components of the displacement vector associated with the boundary, in default length units. This vector will be the same for the whole surface. Use the check-boxes to deactivate the fixation of single components of displacement.

Normal: Define the displacement oriented normally to the surface of a body, in default length units. Positive displacement value corresponds to the vector pointing outwards of the body.

OK

Accepts the changes and closes the dialog.

Cancel

Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
