part modify fe_part name_position_section

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

Format:

part modify fe_part name_position_section
fe_part_name =	existing fe_part name
new_fe_part_name =	modified 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
adams_id =	real
material_type =	refer existing material
cratiok =	stiffness matrix
cratiom =	mass matrix
preload =	file name
external =	Boolean(yes/no)
location =	real,real,real
orientation =	real,real,real
fepart_type =	option(BEAM_3D,BEAMXY_2D,BEAMYZ_2D,BEAMZX_2D)
nodes_at_curve_points =	Boolean(yes/no)

Example:

part modify fe_part name_position_section
fe_part_name =	FE_Part_1
adams_id =	1
ref_curve =	GCURVE_2
material_type =	brass
cratiok =	0.8
cratiom =	0.5
fepart_type =	beamzx_2d
nodes_at_curve_points =	yes/no

Description:

Parameter	Value Type	Description
fe_part_name	string	Specifies the name of the fe part to be modified.
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.
material_type	Existing Material	Specifies the identifier of the existing MATERIAL statement used by this fe_part.
cratiok	real	Stiffness Matrix
cratiom	real	Mass Matrix
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.
