*IMPPOS

Data format:

One line with 5 parameters

IDREF IDIMP NBESTEP NENDSTEP IOP

Status :

Optional

Restriction :

Used with static analysis

Purpose :

To impose the position (translation and rotation) of a node (IDREF) to another node (IDIMP)

Details :

Parameter	Description
IDREF	Reference node
IDIMP	Node following the reference node
NBESTEP	Step where node IDIMP starts catching up with node IDREF
NENDSTEP	Step where node IDIMP starts caught up with node IDREF
IOP	- IOP = 0 : Linear interpolation on translations and rotations to bring IDIMP onto IDREF between NBESTEP and NDENSTEP - IOP = 1 : linear interpolation on translation, rotation imposed at NBESTEP

Note

if NBESTEP = NENSTEP = 0, IDIMP follows IDREF from the start.
