DeformableBody

Fields

• reference_point: String, default = ""

  A reference point to the location of the body where deformable_body moment and forces are applied for Mechanical physics. If empty, it defaults to average of nodal coordinates of the deformable body.

• group_names: Vector of String, default = []

  Reference to the mesh groups (point, edge, surface or volume) that constitutes this deformable body definition. (required)

• deformable_body_name: String, default = ""

  A unique identifier for requesting KPI Output or for applying Dirichlet/ForceLoad boundary conditions

• formulation_type: DeformableBodyFormulationType, default = ElementBased

  Element based formulation does an element integration and requires all group names to have same topology.

• follower_loads: Bool, default = false

  Activation of follower loads (for both applied forces and moments, only active when this boolean is true and large deformation materials are used)
