*FILLRATIO
Data cards :
One or several lines with 9 parameters each, as follows:
IGR IOP IEL1 IEL2 TENSMIN TENSMAX COEF TOL DEB_MAX
Status :
Optional
Purpose :
To add or remove internal fluid from a ballast element based on the average tension of two elements. It the tension is lower than TENSMIN, the line should become lighter therefore , it is emptied; if the tension is higher, the line is filled.
Details :
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| IGR | Ballast group number |
| IOP | 0 : reference is tension; 1: reference is projection of tension on global Z axis |
| IEL1 | First Reference element for tension |
| IEL2 | Second reference element for tension (can be equal to IEL1) |
| TENSMIN | Minimum tension target value (N) |
| TENSMAX | Maximum tension target value (N) |
| COEF | User defined coefficient: only a fraction of the correction is taken into account, the computed correction on volume is multiplied by COEF |
| TOL | If the tension is below TENSMIN or above TENSMAX by less than TOL (N), then the volume is unchanged |
| DEB_MAX | Used in dynamic to control the change of volume per time step, the variation of the volume over the timestep should be less then DEB_MAX (kg/m3) |
