*SetBodyInertia() - asymmetric body pair

Sets the mass properties of an asymmetric body pair.

Syntax

*SetBodyInertia(body_name, ,mass_l, ixx_l, iyy_l, izz_l, 
                                      ixy_l, ixz_l, iyz_l , 
                                      mass_r, ixx_r, iyy_r, izz_r, 
                                      ixy_r, ixz_r, iyz_r)

Arguments

body_name: The variable name of an existing body pair.; Data type: varname
mass_l: The mass of the left body.; Data type: real
ixx_l, iyy_l, izz_l, ixy_l, ixz_l, iyz_l: The moments of inertia of the left body.; Data type: real
mass_r: The mass of the right body.; Data type: real
ixx_r, iyy_r, izz_r, ixy_r, ixz_r, iyz_r: The moments of inertia of the right body.; Data type: real

Example

*Body(crank, "Crank", crank_cm)
*SetBodyInertia(crank, , 10, 3, 4, 5, 
0, 0, 0, 
15, 3, 4, 5, 
0, 0, 0)

Context

*BeginMdl()

*DefineAnalysis()

*DefineSystem()

Comments

The second argument, which is used for specifying symmetry, is empty when assigning asymmetric coordinates to a body pair.
