Simple Prescribed Displacement Question

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all,

Very simple question here I believe that I for some reason have not been able to find the answer to anywhere. I am attempting to close a sector of a circle, and have been able to easily do so using the prescribed displacement boundary condition. However, further analysis on the closed sector would require that boundary to move, which prescribed displacement would prevent.

How do I extract and use the forces that COMSOL calculates from the prescribed displacement and apply it as a boundary load so that I could work further with the close sector geometry? There's clearly something simple that I'm missing here.

Thanks for any help,

Dillon
