Incorrect Displacement Results

Incorrect Displacement Results

Incorrect Displacement Results

(OP)
Hi all,

I have described a displacement boundary condition that starts from 0,0 (time(s), disp(mm)) and ends up at 1,-5 using a tabular amplitude.  The problem, is at the end of the 1 second dynamic step, the displacement is -5.283 mm not -5.0 mm.  Any idea why this is happening or what could be the cause?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
