Type string: "rigid_follower_moment"

Parameters

Name Description Default Units

moment moment {0,0,0} []

Description

The rigid_follower_moment load applies a moment in the local rigid body coordinate system. The direction of the moment in global coordinates therefore depends on orientation of the rigid body.

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

The following example applies a moment about the x-axis.

<rigid_load type="rigid_follower_moment">
  <rb>rigid</rb>
  <moment>100,0,0</force>
</rigid_load>
