rigid_moment¶

Module: solid

Category: load

Type string: "rigid_moment"

Parameters¶

Name	Description	Default	Units
`rb`	Rigid material	-1	[]
`dof`	dof	0	[]
`value`	value	0	[F.L]
`relative`	relative	false	[]
`load_type`	load_type	0	[]

The rigid_moment load applies a moment about a particular coordinate axis.

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, Rw.

The relative flag indicates whether the applied value should be absolute or relative to the value at the end of the previous analysis step.

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

<rigid_load type="rigid_moment">
  <rb>rigid</rb>
  <dof>Ru</dofs>
  <value lc="1">3.14</value>
</rigid_load>
