Example: Minimizing the Displacement Design Response

The task for this example is to minimize the absolute displacement of node 10 in the local coordinate system CS_1.

This task shows you how to:

Choose a Displacement Design Response in Tosca Structure.gui

  1. Choose Command > DRESP.
    The DRESP menu appears.
  2. Define a displacement design response as shown in the following figure:

SIMULIA Tosca Structure Parameter File

The resulting command in the parameter file look like follows: 


DRESP
 ID_NAME  = disp_x_abs
 TYPE     = DISP_X_ABS
 CS_REF   = CS_1
 DEF_TYPE = SYSTEM
 LC_SET   = STATIC, 2,
 NODE     = 10
