Cosmos Works Imposed Deflection on Part? How?

Cosmos Works Imposed Deflection on Part? How?

Cosmos Works Imposed Deflection on Part? How?

(OP)
Hello,

In Cosmos Works 2007, is there a way to impose/apply a deflection on a part or feature of a part instead of imposing a load? I would like to see stresses, strains, and reactions from this deflection.

If so, please explain where/how to do this, or a method to achieve this.  

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
yes, impose "displacement". I remember it should be the same command for the displacement's constraints, except that you enter a value instead of "zero".

Regards

That worked!  Thanks!  I chose to fix an element in one axis and imposed/enforced the displacement via dialog box as you said.

Now...

How can I measure reaction/internal forces at the location of the displacement?

Hi,
if I remember well, use the probe tool and scope to the feature where the nodes are on. Can't remember more than this because I haven't been using CW for a lonf time.

Regards
