Category: ic

Type string: "initial_rigid_angular_velocity"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units
rb Rigid material -1 []
value value {0,0,0} [r/t]

Description

In dynamic analysis, the initial angular velocity of a rigid body can be set via the initial_rigid_angular_velocity rigid constraint.

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

The following example defines an initial angular velocity for a rigid body.

<rigid_ic type="initial_rigid_angular_velocity">
  <rb>rigid</rb>
  <value>1,0,0</value>
</rigid_ic>
