Create Displacement, Rotation, Velocity and Acceleration Responses

Use the Disps. tool to create displacement, rotation, velocity, or acceleration responses from selected nodes.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • From the Design Explorer ribbon, click the Disps. tool.


      Figure 1.
    • Click the Disps. tool satellite icon . In the Responses dialog, click .

  3. Select one or more nodes.
    Selecting the first node will create a response and add it to the Design Explorer Browser. By default, the response will be the maximum absolute value of the displacement/rotation magnitude for the selected node(s).
  4. Make any desired modifications to the created response in the microdialog.
