rigid_rotation¶

Module: solid

Category: bc

Type string: "rigid_rotation"

Parameters¶

Name	Description	Default	Units
`rb`	Rigid material	-1	[]
`dof`	dof	-1	[]
`value`	value	0	[r]
`relative`	relative	false	[]

The rigid_rotation constraint prescribes the value of a rigid rotational degree of freedom.

The rb parameter is the name attribute assigned to the corresponding rigid body material as defined in the Material section.

The values allowed for the dof parameter are: Ru, Rv, or Rw.

If the relative flag is set, the value is taken relative to the dof value at the start of the step.

The following example prescribes a rotation around the x-axis.

<rigid_bc type="rigid_rotation">
  <rb>rigid</rb>
  <dof>Ru</dof>
  <value lc="1">3.14</value>
</rigid_bc>
