impose a displacement field obtained from a previous calculi

impose a displacement field obtained from a previous calculi

(OP)
Hi everyone,

I would like to impose a displacement field obtained from a previous calculi at the same structure, modify some stiffness parameters and then run the job.

I am doing a modal analysis.

Do you know if it is possible? I saw that the SPCD command exists but i don't know how to include the displacement field obtained with the *.f06 file. Should I use another method?

Thanks for your answers!

RE: impose a displacement field obtained from a previous calculi

Hello!,
One of the FEMAP Postprocessing Custom Tools named "Nodes Move By Deform and Nodes Move By Deform with Options" update the model nodal coodinates with the resultant displacements od previous analysis. Then you can modify your model properties, and run a new analysis. This is typical for buckling analysis to account for imperfections.
Best regards,
Blas.
