I am working on a Thermo-Mechanical problem. I have a cantilever kind of 2d domain, which is fixed at one end. I have done the Thermal part where the Temperature at the edge is moving down with a certain velocity from the free end to the fixed end. Used time-dependent Diritchelt condition to do the same. Now i want to move a 'support' from the free end to fixed end through the side of the cantilever. I wanted to know how we can define fixed supports which is time-dependent. Now i am able to select the complete boundary as fixed support. What i wanted to execute is to reduce the size of that fixed support continuously ( Imagine support is moving down with a certain speed) while a load is being applied in the end.)
I have gone through the 'Travelling Load' tutorial model, however, could see that there the span width is just a parameter. If support has to be changed it can be done in different simulation runs, not in single one. I also tried to define a point as a function of time so that I can move that point which will automatically make the parts below as a fixed boundary, but that was also not possible.
Request your help and kindly check the same. Appreciate your time, stay safe
