StructuralPointSupportDeformation

Imposed deformation of a point support

Displacement or rotation can be imposed on a point support. Displacement can be set in the direction of one of the axes of a support, positive displacement acts in the positive direction of the corresponding axis. Rotation can be imposed around one of the axes of a support, positive rotation acts right-handed about the corresponding positive axis. A rigid support is required in the direction of the deformation.

Warning

The name of the excel sheet is StructuralPointSupportDef due to sheet name length limitation.

Specification in the excel

Column header	Data type	Example / enum definition	Required	Description
Name	String	RS1	yes	Human readable unique name of the deformation
Point support	String	Sn6	yes	Reference to StructuralPointSupport to which the deformation load is applied
Direction	Enum	X Y Z Rx Ry Rz	yes	Specifies the direction of deformation. X, Y, Z are the directions of translation. Rx, Ry, Rz are the directions of rotation. Directions follow local axis of a StructuralPointSupport. See notes for current information about direction.
Translation value [mm]	Double	-10	yes, if Direction = X, Y, Z	Specifies the size of translation in the chosen direction
Rotation value [mrad]	Double	-50	yes, if Direction = Rx, Ry, Rz	Specifies the size of rotation around the chosen axis
Load case	String	LC5	yes	The name of the load case to which the load belongs
Id	String	39f238a5-01d0-45cf-a2eb-958170fd4f39	no	Unique attribute designation

Notes

Local coordinate systems of supports are for now global only. Therefore all the deformation are imposed in the direction of global axes.
