Modelling a Plate with sinusoidal Displacement Boundary condition in one edge

Modelling a Plate with sinusoidal Displacement Boundary condition in one edge

Modelling a Plate with sinusoidal Displacement Boundary condition in one edge

(OP)
Hi,
I am trying to impose a sinusoidal displacement boundary condition in one edge of a plate.
But I am not able to do this ( an amateur User sad )
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me.

RE: Modelling a Plate with sinusoidal Displacement Boundary condition in one edge

Depends. Are you investigating the plate in the time domain or in the frequency domain?

Hi, PamCrash
it is an static simlation.
i want just see the deformation of a plate when 2 edges are free and 2 edges have deforming in a sinusodul
shape.

hi imanhaji

u can define the sinusoidal displacement by using amplitude (instead of ramp) in load definition. then just put u1=1 (if the displacement varies in x direction).

A variation in time with an amplitude won't help, since he is asking for a spatial variation.

@imanhaji
When you define your model with CAE, you can do it with an analytical field. Got into the load module and select Tools->Analytical Field->Expression Field.

See CAE Users Manual 58. The Analytical Field toolset
