*DIRLIFT

Data format:

An arbitrary number of lines with 2 parameters each, as follows:

INOD IDIR

Status:

Optional

Purpose:

To the velocity taken into account for the lift force at a node.

Restriction:

A *PLIFT must have been previously defined on the node

Details :

Parameter	Description
INOD	Node identification number
IDIR	IDIR = 0: Horizontal velocity IDIR = 1: Component of the velocity along the global X axis IDIR = 2: Component of the velocity along the global Y axis IDIR = 3: Component of the velocity perpendicular to node direction Note: Rotational degrees of freedom are required to set the direction for IDIR=3. It is then required to have 6 degrees of freedom for the node (e.g. with beam elements).
