Acceleration

class pyccx.bc.Acceleration(target, direction=None, mag=1.0, name=None, amplitude=None, timeDelay=None)

Bases: BoundaryCondition

The Acceleration Boundary Condition applies an acceleration term across a Volume (i.e. Element Set) during a structural analysis. This is provided as magnitude, direction of the acceleration on the body.

Attributes Summary

direction	The acceleration direction (normalised vector)
magnitude	The acceleration magnitude applied onto the body

Methods Summary

setVector(v)	The acceleration of the body set by an acceleration vector
type()	Returns the BC type so that they are only applied to suitable load cases
writeInput()
