*INIACCEL

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.
