It was relatively straightforward to impose a shear strain of 0.001 in the YZ component. As shown in the figure, I simply applied uniform displacements on the four faces. However, when I attempted to impose shear strain in the ZX component through displacements, an error occurred because the faces where the YZ displacements had been applied share a common edge. How can I resolve this issue?

The issue has been resolved. When only the YZ component was present, I used Displacement. For the YZ & ZX case, I used both Displacement and Remote Displacement, and for the YZ, ZX & XY case, I used only Remote Displacement.
