Refer to Usage of Table Tool and enter or modify the following data:

Element: Element number

Type: Define a reference coordinate system (Global, Element)

In case of Type = "Global"

RGDXi: Vector component of the end offset distance at N1 end in GCS X-direction

RGDYi: Vector component of the end offset distance at N1 end in GCS Y-direction

RGDZi: Vector component of the end offset distance at N1 end in GCS Z-direction

RGDXj: Vector component of the end offset distance at N2 end in GCS X-direction

RGDYj: Vector component of the end offset distance at N2 end in GCS Y-direction

RGDZj: Vector component of the end offset distance at N2 end in GCS Z-direction

For Type = "Element"

RGDXi: End offset distance in the element's local (+) x-direction at N1 end

RGDXj: End offset distance in the element's local (-) x-direction at N2 end

Group: Boundary Group in which the entered boundary conditions are included
