boundary condition : one way blocking

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,
I'm modelling a plate placed on supports and I'm applying a force on this one.
I'd like to know if it's possible to apply a blocking only in one way (compression).
Currently I've a blocking on Z axis but there is no difference between traction and compression. So, the results obtained are failed because the supports are also blocking the plate in traction.

I'm working on solid, stress-strain (sld) and heat transfer by conduction (ht) modes.

Thanks a lot

Hi

take a look at the contact boundaries, and the treads thereon (try a search on the forum) you will find quite a lot about contact modelling

Good luck
Ivar
