*SMOVE

Data format:

A single line comprising 10 values

IMOU AMPX PERX PHIX AMPY PERY PHIY AMPZ PERZ PHIZ

Status :

Optional (dynamics)

Purpose :

To assign a sinusoidal movement to a node

Details :

Parameter	Description
IMOU	Identification number of the node with
prescribed motion (must have been previously defined)
AMPX	Amplitude of the X translation
PERX	Period of the X translation
PHIX	Phase angle of the X translation with respect to the wave (degrees)
AMPY,PERY,PHIY	Idem for the Y translation
AMPZ,PERZ,PHIZ	Idem for the Z translation

Note

During the first period this expression is multiplied by a factor t/PERX in order to provide a progressive application of the prescribed sinusoidal motion.

Example :

*SMOVE
1 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 1. 5. 0.

Node 1 has a prescribed sinusoidal and vertical motion of amplitude 1 m and period 5 seconds. In *NODES, it must have IDOF = 111xxx
