Reply To: How to prescribe displacements for a set of multiple nodes simulteanouly?

Thank you. I have successfully imported external data from Excel (".csv") into my model following the instructions you gave me. However, for some reason Ansys will only accept static forces/displacements. To perform dynamical simulations, data must be dependent of time:

X-Coordinate | Displacement
0.00 | 0.000
0.01 | 0.001*sin(time)
0.02 | 0.003*sin(time)
(etc)

Typing "sin(time)" works for displacements/forces defined inside Ansys, but it does not work for external data. Do you know how can I solve that?
