Set Part Velocity

This function will assign initial velocities to part, flex parts and point mass parts. The function is typically called after a static analysis. Optionally, you may specify a list of part for which the velocity is set to zero, and another list of parts whose velocity is not set. This function, in contrast to CON910, does NOT set rotational velocities on wheel parts
Consub can be invoked to perform velocity setting by typing the following command
CONTROL/FUN=USER (917, origo, vx, vy, vz, zeroList, pointMassList, flexPartList, noSetList)\
where:
 
origo
=
Id of marker on ground in whose coordinate system velocity is specified. Required Parameter
Vx
=
Velocity in the Xdirection of the origo marker in model units. Required parameter
Vy
=
Optional velocity in the Y direction of origo marker in model units
Vz
=
Optional velocity in the Z direction of origo marker in model units
zeroList
=
Id of an ARRAY statement listing part ids for which the velocity should be set to zero. Optional parameter
pointMassList
=
Id of an ARRAY statement listing all point mass part ids. Optional parameter
flexPartList
=
Id of an ARRAY statement listing all flexible parts in the model. Optional Parameter
noSetList
=
Id of an ARRAY statement listing all the parts by id whose velocity should not be set. Optional Parameter
