Comments

  1. A velocity is imposed to node_IDN in the direction of node_ID'N. The initial position of node_IDN and node_ID'N are provided in /NODE.
  2. fct_ID defines the time evolution of the imposed velocity.
  3. T0 is the duration used to compute a scale factor on the velocity of node_IDN.

  5. Initial node position node_IDN and final node position node_ID'N can be defined as a spring (node_IDN, node_ID'N) with zero stiffness. The spring part_ID is optional and can be used to simplify the input since a pre-processor can easily generate springs between an initial position and a final one.
  6. fct_IDL defines the time evolution of an optional concentrated load applied on all destination nodes node_ID'N.
