blocking deplacement on a boundary in one direction

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi
I need for one model to put a constraint on deplacement in ONE direction in the structural mecanical module
So the boundary will move freely as long as w>=0 on the boundary but could not become negative.
I believe it can be done editing the equation system... or maybe existing in one published model...
if somebody can tell me it will help me cut and try approach :-)
thanks
JF

Hi

for me this ressembles the contact pair condition, or two boundaries with a penality condition on the boundary separation distance, Take a look on the contact pair conditions

Good luck
Ivar
