See below:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/04-06-2024-1717496644-mceclip0.png\" \/>&lt;br&gt;Here, I quickly setup a simple cantilever beam model and applied a force of 10N in Z direction. I got -0.1592mm directional deformation in Z direction. Equivalent Von-Mises Stress is 26.61 MPa.&lt;br&gt;I took the -0.1592mm directional deformation, and applied that as displacement boundary condition to the face (For your model, you may have to consider all three X, Y &amp; Z directional deformations).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/04-06-2024-1717496810-mceclip1.png\" \/>&lt;br&gt;After solution, you can see in the 2nd screenshot, the Equivalent Von-Mises Stress is almost same and force reaction is also 10N.&nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, your model has multi-step analysis, so take directional deformation at all the time steps and apply displacement in same no of steps.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-369744","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/369744","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":1,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/369744\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":369746,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/369744\/revisions\/369746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
