Displacement boundary condition problem
Displacement boundary condition problem
(OP)
Hello friends,
I am working on a single lap joint with an adhesive bond. I've given a displacement boundary condition instead of a force at the ends of the joint to calculate the stresses occurring at the joint. I want to know what force would cause the same displacement at the ends of the joint (that i have specified). Should i tick the nodal forces occurring due to element stresses in the field output menu, but i doubt if that's correct. Is there any other way of knowing the force at the ends ??
Also i wanted to know what does CSQUADSCRT mean and i dont get any result even if i tick the CSQUADSCRT in the field output-before submitting the job.
Thanks in advance

RE: Displacement boundary condition problem
The other way is to use the freebody tool. You would select the nodes and elements at a given cross section and use the interface option.
