How can I account for a column settlement/support settlement in the model? Structure | Model
Answer:
A forced deformation can occur at a nodal support and line support. For surfaces, this is not possible yet. Nodal Supports Surface
This allows, for example, settlements of an individual foundation or strip foundation to be considered. The inputs differ as follows:
Nodal Forced Deformation The nodal forced deformation is to be assigned to a node supported in the direction of the deformation. The forced displacement can be considered in the nodal support axis system in the direction of uX' / uY' / uZ', as well as a forced rotation φX' / φY' / φZ' (see image 1).
Line Forced Displacements In the case of line forced displacements, the supports must also be held in the direction of the displacement. The line forced displacement is related to the line support axis system in the direction of uX' / uY' / uZ', as well as a forced rotation φX' (see image 2).
