I was hoping for some input/ideas regarding the proper constraints necessary for bending a block that is asymetrically deformed. I would like to apply edge loads to either side of the block and then be able to bend either one side or both using these edge loads in order to restore the block as close as possible to it's undeformed state. Currently, I am using symmetric boundary conditions but these interfere too much and make the model non-realistic. For instance, if I bend one side of the block and I have a symmetry condition in the middle, the other side of the block is effected much less and I get a bump in my data where the symmetry condition is. Are there any ways in which I can more delicately hold these kinds of things in place without having a hard interference somewhere? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
