Field

Contents

SID

Load set identification number.

(Integer > 0)

G1

Grid point identification number.

(Integer > 0)

C1

Component number (Integer 1 through 18). The component refers to the coordinate system referenced by the grid point G1.

G2

Grid point identification number to define relative motion.

(Integer > 0 or blank)

D

Scale factor.

(Real)

D0

Initial displacement if motion data is of type velocity or acceleration, ignored otherwise.

V0

Initial velocity if motion data type is acceleration, ignored otherwise.

Comments

  1. If G1 and G2 are defined, the motion is a relative motion between the two grid points; if G2 is blank, absolute motion of G1 is defined.

  2. The component numbers 1, 2, 3 belong to the three displacement directions; 4, 5, 6 to the three rotations; 7, 8, 9 to the three translational velocities; and 10, 11, 12 to the three angular velocities.
