FEM ConstraintDisplacement

Description

Creates a FEM constraint for a prescribed displacement of a selected object for a specified degree of freedom.

How to use

1. Click on or choose Model → Mechanical Constraints → Constraint displacement from the top menu.
2. Select in the 3D-view the object the constraint should be applied to, which can be
   1. vertices (corners)
   2. edges
   3. faces
3. Choose a degree of freedom to fix or prescribe a displacement to.

Limitations

Notes

1. The constraint uses the *BOUNDARY card in CalculiX. Fixing a degree of freedom is explained at http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node164.html and prescribing a displacement for a degree of freedom is explained at http://web.mit.edu/calculix_v2.7/CalculiX/ccx_2.7/doc/ccx/node165.html
