Enforced Displacement Value
Description: Defines an enforced displacement value for static analysis, which is requested as a LOAD.
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| SID | Identification number of single load set. | Integer ≥ 0 | Required |
| Gi | Grid point identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| Ci | Component number of global coordinate. (Up to six unique digits may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks.) | 1 ≤ Integers ≤ 6 | Required |
| D | Enforced displacement for all coordinates designated by G and C. | Real or blank | 0.0 |
Remarks:
- A global coordinate (G and C) referenced on this entry must also be referenced on a SPC or SPC1 Bulk Data entry and selected by the SPC Case Control command.
- Values of D will override the values specified on an SPC Bulk Data entry, if the SID is selected on the LOAD Case Control command.
- SPCD loads may be combined with other loads using the LOAD Bulk Data entry.
- This is the preferred method for applying enforced displacements, rather than the "D" field of the SPC entry when multiple subcases with different enforced displacement conditions are applied.
- SPCD loads with SID set to zero will be applied to all subcases.
