Vehicle Speed

Initial speed of the vehicle center of mass.

Computed by:

SVCSPD

Input Variables Used:

■Body center-of-mass marker identifier (idbcm)
■Global origin marker identifier (gblm)

Method:

SVC calls the INFO utility subroutine (prior to the static equilibrium analysis) to compute the center-of-mass marker velocity with respect to the global origin marker. The reported speed is the magnitude of this vector.
