Comments

  1. The velocity direction must be right justified in the ten characters of field number 2.
  2. If a velocity is imposed in a frame (frame_ID ≠ 0), the frame nodes must not have an imposed velocity themselves.
  3. If Tstart and Tstop are specified, the velocity is imposed between these times, but the time versus velocity function is not shifted to begin at Tstart.
  4. When a sensor is defined sens_ID, the imposed velocity is applied at the time of sensor activation and the function is shifted by the sensor activation time.
  5. When a sensor sens_ID is used with Tstart and Tstop, the imposed velocity will only occur if the sensor activation time occurs between Tstart and Tstop.
  6. The AscaleX and FscaleY are used to scale the abscissa (time) and ordinate (translational or angular velocity).
    The actual load function value is calculated as:(1)

  7. SKEW and FRAME cannot be defined together. This is SKEW or FRAME.
  8. If icoor=1, the directions X, Y, and Z (resp. XX, YY, and ZZ) refer to translations along (resp. rotations around) the radial direction (r), azimuthal angular direction ( θ ) and longitudinal direction (Z) (refer to /SKEW/FIX and /FRAME/FIX).
