Prescribed Displacement/Rotation
The Prescribed Displacement/Rotation node adds an edge (3D), boundary (2D), or point (2D and 3D) condition where the displacements and rotations are prescribed in one or more directions.
Coordinate System Selection
Specify the coordinate system to use for specifying the prescribed displacement/rotation. See the section Coordinate System Selection for Edge Load.
Prescribed Displacement
Select one or all of the Prescribed in x direction, Prescribed in y direction, and for 3D models, Prescribed in z direction check boxes. Then enter a value or expression for u0, v0, and for 3D models, w0.
Prescribed Rotation
For 2D models, to define a prescribed rotation select the Prescribed in out of plane direction check box and enter a value or expression for θ0z.
For 3D models, to define a prescribed rotation for each space direction (x, y, and z), select one or all of the Prescribed around x direction, Prescribed around y direction, and Prescribed around z direction check boxes and enter a value or expression for in each θ0x, θ0y, or θ0z field.

In the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual:
You can add a Harmonic Perturbation subnode for specifying a harmonic variation of the values of the prescribed displacements in a frequency domain analysis of perturbation type.
