1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#
The coordinate cube node \((\mathrm{0,0}\mathrm{,0})\) is stuck following \(\mathit{DZ}\).
The cube node with coordinates \((\mathrm{1,0}\mathrm{,0})\) is stuck following \(\mathit{DX}\), \(\mathit{DY}\), \(\mathit{DZ}\).
The coordinate cube node \((\mathrm{1,1}\mathrm{,0})\) is stuck following \(\mathit{DX}\), \(\mathit{DZ}\).
The node in the cube with coordinates \((\mathrm{0,1}\mathrm{,0})\) is subject to a nodal force \(\mathit{FX}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{-}0.123456701636\), \(\mathit{FY}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{-}0.246913403273\), \(\mathit{FZ}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{-}0.370370090008\).
