Prescribed Mesh Displacement
Use the
Prescribed Mesh Displacement
node on the boundary of domains with free deformation. The spatial frame in the adjacent domain moves in accordance with the displacement.
Coordinate System Selection
Select a coordinate system for the mesh displacement from the
Coordinate system
list. The default is the
Global coordinate system
.
Prescribed Mesh Displacement
Select the check box for each coordinate direction to prescribe the displacement. The default settings provide a fixed boundary (zero displacements in all directions).
For boundaries adjacent to domains where displacement variables are defined, for example domains where a Solid Mechanics interface is active, let these variables drive the mesh displacement by typing the component field names in the corresponding fields (for example, setting
dx
to
u
,
dy
to
v
, and
dz
to
w
in 3D).
