However, this brings me to another question. Can I apply remote displacement instead of displacement while having the same boundary conditions? Because I am exploring if I can recreate a work by Chaudharri and Katti (2016) which looks like the diagram below:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/102\/XT1228TCGEZI.png\" width=\"864\" height=\"595\" \/>where the supporting I beams were offset 100m from the side edges. I am exploring if I can obtain the same result without actually model a solid I beam below the flat plate but only applying boundary condition in Ansys mechanical. So currently my idea is to use remote displacement and set the location 100m from the 4 edges but the support does not work as I expected. Is this method not workable? Or do I need more modification on my work?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-186698","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/186698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/186698\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
