DCSW

DCSW, load_type, node_nr, dir_label, v_start, v_end, points, h-flag;

Defines a load parameter for DC-sweep simulations

The response of the load is analyzed in a series of static simulations.
The hysteresis flag activates the forward-backward mode (e. g. to simulate the effect of pull-in and pull-out of plate-like capacitors).

Input Data⚓︎

Parameter	Description
`load_type`	Available node types (enter a string) → `rb` - Rigid body center point (center of gravity) → `mn` - Master node → `sl` - Spring location point (SLOC) → `acel` - Acceleration load → `vscr` - Voltage source → `off` - Deactivates all assigned asweep settings
`node_nr`	Number of the node associated with above node type → ≥ 1 [integer] for `load_type` = `rb`, `mn`, `sl` → Unused for `load_type` = `acel` → [string] Name of voltage source for `load_type` = `vscr`
`dir_label`	Available load types and directions (enter a two-character string), unused for `vscr` sources - Forces or moments: → `fx` or `mx` → `fy` or `my` → `fz` or `mz` - Displacements, rotations (in radian) or accelerations: → `ux` or `rx` → `uy` or `ry` → `uz` or `rz`
`v_start`	Value of the load at start of DC-sweep
`v_end`	Value of the load at the end of the DC-sweep
`points`	Number of sample points
`h-flag`	Activates/deactivates the forward-backward mode → If 1 or true - Forward-backward mode → If 0 or false - Only forward-mode (default)
