SubscriberHello everyone,
I am having some difficulties with a problem in ANSYS Mechanical. I want to simulate the movement and deformation of an object over time.
The object was generated using the sweep function along a C-shaped line, and I want it to deform and move as time progresses. I have a tabular function that defines the positions of points along the centerline of the object at different time steps.
How can I effectively implement this so that I can visualize the motion under "Total Deformation" in the Solution section?
Thank you in advance for your help!

SubscriberEach point along the centerline has an initial position, p(0). You have the position at each time step, p(t). You need the deformation, so subtract the initial position from current position to get d(t) = p(t) - p(0).
It's not sufficient to simply move the points using the deformation value at each time step, you also need the rotation of each point from the initial position. You need to calculate that from the position data if that is not already known. Can you do that?
