-
From the
Loads section of the
action bar,
click
Applied Translation
 .
-
Select the geometry supports in the model. You can select one or
more faces.
- Optional:
Enter a descriptive
Name.
-
Select the geometry supports in the model.
A translation can be applied to one or more points, edges, or
faces.
You can also select a coupling connection, rigid
body, or rigid surface; the displacement is applied to the reference point for
the feature.
You can apply the translation to a secondary base by selecting
Sim feature as the type of support, then
selecting the appropriate displacement restraint from the window that appears.
-
Enter the
Translation distance.
-
Select a
Degree of freedom representing the direction
of translation within the selected axis system.
-
Choose whether the
Orthogonal translations are
Free or
Fixed.
If you choose
Fixed, no movement is allowed in the
directions orthogonal to the direction of the translation. This effectively
creates restraints on the orthogonal directions. For example, if the direction
of translation is the global Y-axis direction, no movement is allowed in the
global X- or Z-direction.
-
Select an
Axis system representing the local feature
triad:
-
Global: Aligns the local feature
triad with the global coordinate system.
-
Local: Aligns the local feature triad with
a selected axis system in the model.
-
Specify: Orient the local feature triad directly by right-clicking the feature triad glyph on the model and selecting an orientation tool.
- Implicit:
Aligns the axis system to the transformed axis system applied to the support.
-
For a
Local axis system definition, do the
following:
-
Select a custom
Axis system by clicking it in the model or
in the tree.
-
Specify the
Axis system type as
Cartesian or
Cylindrical.
- Optional:
Enter a Scale factor that is applied to the magnitude in each step.
-
Select an
Amplitude that
defines the magnitude during the
step.
-
Click
OK.
