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.

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).
