Static Moment
Description: Defines a static moment at a grid point by specifying a vector.
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| SID | Load set identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| G | Grid point identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| CID | Coordinate system identification number. | Integer ≥ 0 or blank | 0 |
| M | Moment vector scale factor. | Real | Required |
| N1, N2, N3 | Moment vector components measured in coordinate system defined by CID. | Real | Required; must have at least one nonzero component |
Remarks:
- The static load applied to grid point G is given by:
where
is the vector defined in fields 6, 7 and 8.
- Load sets must be selected in the Case Control Section (LOAD = SID).
- A CID of zero references the basic coordinate system.
