The Displacement Node (
) feature adds a displacement node to the system. This node is used in order to prescribe the displacement of one or more ports of a component. Using the
Lumped–Structure Connection multiphysics coupling, a displacement node can be used to connect a distributed model of a component to the lumped model of a system. The displacement of the node of the distributed component model can be specified as the input to this feature. The reaction force of the node of the lumped system model can be applied to the distributed component model.
Enter a component Name for the displacement node. The default name (for the first instance) is
disp1.
Set the Node name for the displacement node.
Specify Input displacement —
From multiphysics coupling or
User defined. If set to
From multiphysics coupling, the input displacement is taken as the displacement of the connection point of the
Lumped–Structure Connection multiphysics coupling. In this case, phase is set as 0. If
Input displacement is set to
User defined, specify the values of
Displacement,
up10, and
Phase,
ϕ.
