Displacements (Local Direction)Enter specified displacements with respect to the GCS or nodal local coordinate system. If the nodal local coordinate system has already been defined for specific nodes the data for the nodes are entered with respect to the NCS. Dx: GCS or nodal local x-direction component of the specified displacement Dy: GCS or nodal local y-direction component of the specified displacement Dz: GCS or nodal local z-direction component of the specified displacement Rx: Specified rotation component about GCS or NCS X-axis Ry: Specified rotation component about GCS or NCS Y-axis Rz: Specified rotation component about GCS or NCS Z-axis Note The specified displacements are considered as load cases in midas Civil. Thus, the specified displacements can be combined with other load cases. Note the following when generating load combinations in a model applied with specified displacements. If specified displacements are assigned to a node, the relevant degrees-of-freedom of the node are automatically constrained. Revision of Civil 2017 (v3.1) In the previous version, when settlement load cases or specified displacement load were assigned to some nodes, the nodes behaved like fixed support even for other load cases that did not contain specified displacements. In Civil 2017 (v3.1), only the nodes to which specified displacement load case or settlement load case are applied will behave like fixed support.
