Imposed Displacement dialog

Access

• Click Loads Load Definition Node tab Imposed Displacement.

Use this dialog to specify imposed displacements for structure support nodes.

U

Defines the displacement along the X, Y, or Z axis of the coordinate system.

R

Defines the rotation around the X, Y, or Z axis of the coordinate system.

Load treated as

Specifies if the load should be treated as a displacement, a velocity, or an acceleration.

Note: The imposed velocity or acceleration on a supported node can be used in the time history analysis only; this type of load has no effect in the static analysis.
