Hello Ansys APDL Experts,
I'm currently working on problem where I have a curved panel whose front view I shared in this post. So my problem is I want the constraints I showed in picture to follow the curve in normal direction like I drew in the image using green lines. Can anyone please guide me how can I achieve this?

Hi

Perhaps this post helps (shows how to rotate with nrotate command, and apply displacements in tangential UY or radial dir. UX of CSYS,1 - cylindrical system)

All the best
