Mechanical Sources

Several different source types are available for the mechanical solver:

 

Displacement

A displacement boundary condition can be assigned to an arbitrary number of faces. It is possible to define all or only certain components of the displacement vector.

Traction

A traction boundary condition can be assigned to an arbitrary number of faces. It is possible to define all or only certain components of the traction vector.

Field Import

Various fields can be imported from other solvers modifying the behavior of the system. For example, a temperature distribution contributes to the deformation of the model via thermal expansion.
