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.
