Submodel displacements synchronize the interface between the submodel and the global model. Because the submodeling process is based on nodes, the cutting planes or lines that create the boundaries are not transferred automatically to the submodel. The submodel displacement features transfer the displacement degrees of freedom from the global model to the submodel along the shared boundaries to ensure that the submodel motion follows that of the global model through the steps of the simulation. Submodel displacements are propagated from the step where they are created through each step that you define in the submodel analysis case. You can create submodel displacement features in the following types of steps:
