Boundary conditions for "supported" edge

Boundary conditions for "supported" edge was created by jfk68
We try to calculate stress and deformation of rectangular plates under pressure load.

For fixed edges (no displacement, no rotation) we use dirichlet boundary conditions. No problem.

Assuming that we have a plate with some "supported" edges, i.e. elements are restricted in displacement only in a certain direction, e.g. z-axis while rotation and displacement in x/y is allowed.

How could that be specified in .py code. My assumption is that something of the dof of the relevant elements has to be modified, the question is what and how?

The "support" constraints should be applied to the "supported" bc in the model below
Code:
import ngsolve import netgen from netgen.csg import * from netgen.meshing import * from ngsolve import * import ngsolve.internal a = 300.0 b = 100.0 t = 8.0 pressure = 0.01 cube = OrthoBrick( Pnt(-a/2 - 5, -b/2 - 5, -t), Pnt(a/2 + 5, b/2 + 5, 5) ) cube *= Plane(Pnt(0,0,0),Vec(0,0,1)).bc("force") cube *= Plane(Pnt(-a/2,0,0),Vec(-1,0,0)).bc("supported") cube *= Plane(Pnt(a/2,0,0),Vec(1,0,0)).bc("supported") cube *= Plane(Pnt(0,-b/2,0),Vec(0,-1,0)).bc("wall") cube *= Plane(Pnt(0,b/2,0),Vec(0,1,0)).bc("wall") geo = CSGeometry() geo.Add (cube) mesh = Mesh(geo.GenerateMesh(maxh=3)) # What should be done to supported bc ? fes = H1(mesh, order=2, dirichlet="wall", dim=mesh.dim) u,v = fes.TrialFunction(), fes.TestFunction() # linear strain tensor def epsilon(u): return 0.5 * (u.Deriv().trans + u.Deriv())# material parameters E = 1200 nu = 0.35 # lame parameters mu = 1/2*(E / (1+nu)) lam = E * nu / ((1+nu)*(1-2*nu)) a = BilinearForm(fes) a += SymbolicBFI( 2*mu*InnerProduct(epsilon(u),epsilon(v)) + lam*Trace(u.Deriv())*Trace(v.Deriv())) a.Assemble() force = CoefficientFunction( (0,0,-pressure) ) f = LinearForm(fes) f += SymbolicLFI( force*v, definedon=mesh.Boundaries("force")) f.Assemble() u = GridFunction(fes,name="displacement") u.vec.data = a.mat.Inverse(fes.FreeDofs())*f.vec Draw(u) # linear stress tensor def stress(u): return 2*mu*epsilon(u) + lam*Trace(epsilon(u))*Id(mesh.dim) Draw(stress(u),mesh,"stress")

Hi jfk68,

for supported boundaries you can "split" the H1 space into its (Cartesian) coordinates and prescribe different Dirichlet boundary conditions
Code:
fesx = H1(mesh, order=2, dirichlet="wall") fesy = H1(mesh, order=2, dirichlet="wall") fesz = H1(mesh, order=2, dirichlet="wall|supported") fes = FESpace( [fesx,fesy,fesz] ) (ux,uy,uz),(vx,vy,vz) = fes.TnT() u = CoefficientFunction( (ux,uy,uz) ) v = CoefficientFunction( (vx,vy,vz) ) gradu = CoefficientFunction( (Grad(ux), Grad(uy), Grad(uz)), dims=(mesh.dim,mesh.dim) ) gradv = CoefficientFunction( (Grad(vx), Grad(vy), Grad(vz)), dims=(mesh.dim,mesh.dim) )

Best regards,
Michael

@Michael: big thank you, that helps a lot.

Is there some place in the documentation where I could have found this hidden treasure features on my own?

I did not find an example in the documentation involving different boundary conditions for different components of a VectorH1.

Best regards,
Michael
