The Prescribed Displacement node adds a condition where the displacements are prescribed in one or more directions to the selected geometric entity (boundary, edge, or point). It is also possible set maximum and minimum limits for the displacements, so that for example a one-sided support can be modeled.
The Coordinate system list contains all applicable coordinate systems in the model, including the
Boundary system and the
Layer local system. The
Global coordinate system is selected by default. Prescribed displacements are specified along the axes of the selected coordinate system.
If the same layer is selected in two Prescribed Displacement nodes being active on the same boundary, the second definition will override the previous.
