*TENWIN
Data format:
A single line with 6 parameters, as follows:
IGR INO1 INO2 LENVAR NITER FACT
Status :
Optional
Purpose :
To adjust the global length of a group of elements to reach a target force
Details :
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
IGR | Group number which length will be adjusted (all element lengths are adjusted to get the chnage in total length) |
INO1 | Reference node where the reference force is computed (absolute value of the reaction force) |
INO2 | Second node where the follower force is computed (absolute value of the reaction force) |
LENVAR | Variation in length of the whole group per iteration (m), signed quantity usually negative |
NITER | Maximum number of iteration per step to reach the target value |
FACT | Factor on the target value. The line total length is changed by LENVAR per iteration over a maximum of NITER iterations until load(INO1) |
