Between the 2 I have actuators. Bottom structure is on the ground.<\/li>\n<li>First step, loads (forces) are applied on the top structure. Both structure will deflect.<\/li>\n<li>Then, we want to crank up the actuators to level the top structure and make it flat (initial loads are still applied)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I modelized it with a translational joint, on which I apply a joint load of type displacement during step 2. Unfortunately I think I fail to understand the correct use of this function because no displacement is made during step2.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a better approach, or is my model possible and why is it failing in your opinion ?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks a lot for your help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-301729","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["283976","32680"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.206.193.154"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["328"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["301729"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["32680","283976"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["301871"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["301871"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-08-17 09:38:58"]},"test":"bob1234tuta-io"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/301729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/301729\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
