Field |
Contents |
|
SID |
Load set identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
|
G |
Grid point identification number through which the rotation vector acts. Default = 0 (Integer > 0) |
|
CID |
Coordinate system defining the components of the rotation vector. Default = 0 (Integer > 0) |
|
A |
Scale factor of the rotational velocity in revolutions per unit time. Default = 0.0 (Real) |
|
R1,R2,R3 |
Rectangular components of rotation direction vector. The vector defined will pass through point G. No default |
|
RACC |
Scale factor of the rotational acceleration in revolutions per unit time squared. (Real) |
G = 0 or blank means the basic coordinate system origin.
CID = 0 or blank signifies that the rotation vector acts at the origin of the basic coordinate system.
The RFORCE load is selected for use in a subcase by the Subcase Information entry LOAD.
The load vector generated by this entry can be printed using the I/O Option OLOAD.
The continuation line containing RACC is optional.
