PROPERTY INITIAL IVEL [icname] part vel dof

        

This command is used to apply an initial velocity at nodes.


icname = name of the initial condition, used for later references.
part = part to have velocity, point, line, surface, body or set.
vel = the magnitude of the velocity. This initial condition will be applied on all
nodes in the specified part.
dof = direction (degree of freedom).
1 or X = x-translation
2 or Y = y-translation
3 or Z = z-translation
4 or RX = x-rotation
5 or RY = y-rotation
6 or RZ = z-rotation

Examples:

1.
PROPERTY INITIAL IVEL S1 120 3

Apply an initial velocity of 120 in direction Z to all nodes on part S1.
