ACEL

ACEL, dir_label, dcval, acval, sigtype, sigpar1, sigpar2;

Defines translational or rotational acceleration loads

Acceleration loads are used for inertial effects. Centrifugal forces are ignored.

Input Data⚓︎

Parameter	Description
`dir_label`	Available directions (enter a two-character string) → `ux` or `rx` → `uy` or `ry` → `uz` or `rz`
`dcval`	DC-value of the load, used for all types of simulations → Real value → `del` - Delete specified acceleration
`acval`	AC-value of the load, used in harmonic and transient simulations → Real value
`sigtype`	Available transient load types (enter a 4-character string) → `sine` - Sinusoidal function → `step` - Step function → `puls` - Periodic pulse function → `ramp` - Ramp function → If empty → Only `dcval` for transient simulations
`sigpar1`	→ `sigtype` = `sine`: → `sigpar1` - Frequency > 0 → `sigtype` = `step`: → `sigpar1` - Step time ≥ 0 → `sigtype` = `puls`: → `sigpar1` - Period time > 0 → `sigtype` = `ramp`: → `sigpar1` - Ramp time till `acval` is reached → The high-values for all load types are taken from `acval`
`sigpar2`	→ `sigtype` = `sine`: → `sigpar2` - Phase (default = 0) → `sigtype` = `step` or `ramp`: → `sigpar2` unused → `sigtype` = `puls`: → `sigpar2` → High-pulse time (default = 0.5)
