No, that’s not possible. You could, however, implement something like this using a user-defined MPC subroutine. You’d need to define some dummy reference points/mass elements and define displacements on these nodes. Then define MPCs that tie the displacements of the nodes on your model to these reference points through the MPC subroutine. Since the MPC can be activated and deactivated during the step, you should be able constrain-then-release, and release-then-constrain nodes. However, you’d need to sort out all the logic properly.

For example I have a simply supported BC on one edge and I would like to turn it off after some time interval and turn on another BC by applying a simply supported BC on another edge? Is this somehow possible? Note: I know one can do that in two steps but I want to do it in a same step Moeen ________________________________ 3M Notice: This communication is from an [EXTERNAL] sender.
