*HYDROBODY

*HYDROBODY, SPUDCAN=IPRO

Data format:

An arbitrary number of lines comprising 4 values.

NODE ROW COL STIFFNESS

An option exists to link this keyword to *SPUDCANPRO to modify the bending stiffness

Status :

Optional

Purpose :

To define stiffness terms (translation/rotation) applied to a node based on its local axes system.

Details :

Parameter Description
NODE Node to which the stiffness matrix is applied.
ROW Row identification of the matrix
COL Column identification of the matrix
STIFFNESS Stiffness value stored in (ROW,COL). Units of the K(6x6) stiffness matrix terms are as follows:
Kij with i=1,3; j=1,3 : N/m
Kij with i=1,3; j=4,6 : N/rad
Kij with i=4,6; j=1,3 : N.m/m
Kij with i=4,6; j=4,6 : N.m/rad

if the option *HYDROBODY, SPUDCAN=IPRO is used, then a spudcan property must have been defined and IPRO is the identification property number.

Restrictions :

A NODE must have been previously defined.
