*INISPEED

Data format:

One line followed bu an arbitrary number of lines

VX VY VZ VRX VRY VRZ
NODE_1 ... NODE_N

Status :

Optional

Purpose : To define initial velocities in static or dynamic for a list of nodes. This

Restrictions :

Nodes used to define the list must have been created

Details :

Parameter Description
VX acceleration in the X-direction (in m/s2)
VY acceleration in the Y-direction (in m/s2)
VZ acceleration in the Z-direction (in m/s2)
VRX angular acceleration around the X-axis (in rad/s2)
VRY angular acceleration around the Y-axis (in rad/s2)
VRZ angular acceleration around the Z-axis (in rad/s2)
NODE_1 ... NODE_N list of nodes that receive the initial acceleration

Note : Initial velocities are taken into account for static and dynamic analyses.

Example :

*INISPEED
1.0 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 velocity of 1.0m/s in the X-axis direction.

*INISPEED
0.0 2.5 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
15

Node number 15 will be given an initial velocity of 2.5m/s in the Y-axis direction.
