Description

In dynamic analysis, the initial velocity of a rigid body can be set via the initial_rigid_velocity initial condition.

The 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 velocity for a rigid body.

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