Description

Adjusts mass for a selection of source components by creating solvermasses on the target components.

Inputs

addnumericalmass=<value>

0 - Do not add numerical mass (default)

1 - Add numerical mass coming from time step on the source entities

entitysource=<value>

The source entity type. Must be set to comps. This is mandatory.

entitytarget=<value>

The target entity type. Valid values are comps and nodes. If not specified, the source entities are updated.

marksource=<value>

The ID of the mark of source entities. Valid values are 1 and 2. This is mandatory.

marktarget=<value>

The ID of the mark of target entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.

targetcogx=<value>

The target x-COG. This is mandatory.

targetcogy=<value>

The target y-COG. This is mandatory.

targetcogz=<value>

The target z-COG. This is mandatory.

targetmass=<value>

The target mass value. This is mandatory.

tolerance=<value>

The percentage tolerance on mass to be adjusted.

usestructuralmass=<value>

0 - Use engineering mass (default)

1 - Use structural mass

Examples

To adjust mass on all the components with specific target mass and COG values:

*createmark comps 1 all
*createandadjustmass marksource=1 entitysource=comps targetmass=0.0245 targetcogx=-277.65 targetcogy=-0.49188 targetcogy=-0.49188 tolerance=10.0 usestructuralmass=1 addnumericalmass=1

Errors

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
