RigidBody

Fields

• large_rotation: Bool, default = false

  Boolean to activate the large rotation behavior of rigid bodies.

• reference_point: String, default = ""

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

• additional_mass: Float, default = 0.0

  Additional point mass added to the reference point.

• additional_rotational_inertia: Vector of Float, default = []

  Additional rotational inertia tensor added to the rigid body [xx, yy, zz, xy, yz, zx] (added directly to the inertia tensor calculated about the center of gravity).

• group_names: Vector of String, default = []

  Reference to the mesh groups (point, edge, surface or volume) that constitutes this rigid body definition. If empty, the rigid body acts as a point mass which could be connected to the rest

  of the system via connectors

• rigid_body_name: String, default = ""

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

• follower_loads: Bool, default = false

  Activation of follower loads (for both applied forces and moments, only active when this and the "large_rotation" booleans are true)
