Boundary condition
Boundary condition
(OP)
Hello,
I analyze a part with rigid (fixed in all 6 dof) boundary conditions. But in reality, there will be some translational movement(3 directions), say around 1 mm. Is it possible to simulate this condition. How to specify. My solver is abaqus.
Thanks for your time.

RE: Boundary condition
If you are doing a linear analysis, you may be able to use a gap element.
If you are doing non-linear analysis, you can use some type of impact plane or set up a "wall" for the part to contact when it moves 1mm.
I'm sure there are a couple of other options...but this is what comes off the top of my head.
