part create fe_part

Allows you to create a new entity of the type fe_part in the Adams session. An fe_part defines a geometrically non-linear part.

Format:

part create fe_part name_position_section
fe_part_name =	new fe_part name
ref_curve =	refer existing gcurve
i_marker =	select existing marker/point
j_marker =	select existing marker/point
i_hard_point =	refer existing point
j_hard_point =	refer existing point
coordinates	true
adams_id =	real
material_type =	refer existing material
cratiok =	stiffness matrix
cratiom =	mass matrix
preload =	file name
external =	Boolean(yes/no)
fepart_type =	option(BEAM_3D,BEAMXY_2D,BEAMYZ_2D,BEAMZX_2D)
location =	real,real,real
orientation =	real,real,real
nodes_at_curve_points =	Boolean(yes/no)

Example:

part create fe_part name_position_section
fe_part_name =	FE_Part_1
adams_id =	1
ref_curve =	GCURVE_1
material_type =	steel
cratiok =	0.5
cratiom =	0.5
fepart_type =	beamxy_2d
nodes_at_curve_points =	yes/no

This will create an fe_part with the name FE_Part_1 with provided parameters.

Description:

Parameter	Value Type	Description
fe_part_name	string	Specifies the name of the fe part to be created.
ref_curve	Existing GCURVE	Specifies the already created bspline curve to be used as the reference centerline for the fe_part.
i_marker	Existing marker/point	Along with j_marker, specifies the already created marker/point as reference to define the centerline for the fe_part.
j_marker	Existing marker/point	Along with i_marker, specifies the already created marker/point as reference to define the centerline for the fe_part.
i_hard_point	Existing point	Along with i_point, specifies already created point as reference to define centerline for fe_part.
j_hard_point	Existing point	Along with j_point, specifies already created point as reference to define centerline for fe_part.
coordinates	Boolean true	Specifies x,y,z points on nodes page to create fe_part with coordinate method.
material_type	Existing Material	Specifies the identifier of the existing MATERIAL statement used by this fe_part.
cratiok	real	Specifies the fraction of the stiffness matrix that contributes to the damping matrix for this element.
cratiom	real	Specifies the fraction of the mass matrix that contributes to the damping matrix for this element.
fepart_type	Option	Specifies the formulation type of fe_part.
preload	string	Specifies the name of a file containing preloaded conditions information for this fe_part.
external	Option	Specifies if external geometry need to be used for fe part. If yes, then only external geometry will be rendered.
location	real,real,real	Specifies the x,y,z Cartesian coordinates to move the FE_PART object to relative to ground
orientation	real,real,real	Specifies the body 313 (body-fixed z,x,z) euler angles to rotate the FE_PART object relative to ground
nodes_at_curve_points	Option	Support FE part's centerline and node locations parameterization with curve control points. See Nodes Parameterization for more information.
