Data format:
One line followed by an arbitrary number of lines
AX AY AZ ARX ARY ARZ
NODE_1 ... NODE_N
Status :
Optional
Purpose :
To define initial accelerations in static or dynamic for a list of nodes. This
Restrictions :
Nodes used to define the list must have been created
Details :
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
AX | acceleration in the X-direction (in m/s2) |
AY | acceleration in the Y-direction (in m/s2) |
AZ | acceleration in the Z-direction (in m/s2) |
ARX | angular acceleration around the X-axis (in rad/s2) |
ARY | angular acceleration around the Y-axis (in rad/s2) |
ARZ | angular acceleration around the Z-axis (in rad/s2) |
NODE_1 ... NODE_N | list of nodes that receive the initial acceleration |
Note : Initial accelerations are taken into account for static and dynamic analyses.
Example :
*INIACCEL
0.1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
1 20 40 - 50
Nodes 1 to 20 and Nodes 40 to 50 will be given an initial acceleration of 0.1m/s2 in the X-axis direction.
*INIACCEL
0.0 0.25 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
15
Node number 15 will be given an initial velocity of 0.25m/s2 in the Y-axis direction.
