Tools

In this group, tools like transformation, frames, skews, and curve are introduced.

Groups	Keywords	Description
Transforms	/TRANSFORM/MATRIX	Coordinate of a group node could be transformed in global reference system.
	/TRANSFORM/ROT	Defines a rotation for a node group around a defined axis, center of rotation and rotation angle.
	/TRANSFORM/SCA	The coordinate of a node group could be scaled with scale factor base on scale in global reference system.
	/TRANSFORM/SYM	Defines a symmetry for a node group normal to the plane which defined by a vector.
	/TRANSFORM/TRA	Defines a translation for a node group with a defined vector.
Frames	/FRAME/FIX	Fixed Frame to measure relative motion with respect to local reference.
	/FRAME/MOV	Moving Frame to measure relative motion with respect to local reference.
	/FRAME/MOV2	Moving Frame to measure relative motion with respect to local reference. The difference between /FRAME/MOV and /FRAME/MOV2 is the way to define local reference system.
	/FRAME/NOD	Use node to define the local reference system for a moving frame.
Skews	/SKEW/FIX	Defines fixed skew, which is a projection reference to define the local quantities with respect to the global reference.
	/SKEW/MOV	Defines fixed skew, which is a projection reference to define the local quantities with respect to the global reference.
	/SKEW/MOV2	Defines fixed skew, which is a projection reference to define the local quantities with respect to the global reference. The difference between /SKEW/MOV and /SKEW/MOV2 is the way to define local reference system.
Curves	/FUNCT	Used to define function.
	/MOVE_FUNCT	Used to scale and shift the function.
	/TABLE	Used to define n dimension table.
SPH	/SPH/RESERVE	SPH particle reserves, it is used to define inactive particles and these particles will be activated by inlet conditions, if necessary.
Other Tools	/ACTIV	Deactivation/activation of element groups.
	/ADMAS	Used to add non-structural mass to nodes or a group of nodes.
	/KEY	Used to encrypt input data by HyperWorks FEA Pre-Processors.
	/LAGMUL	Describes the Lagrange multiplier option.
	/MADYMO/EXFEM	Describes the definition of exchanged FEM.
	/MADYMO/LINK	Describes the definition of links to Madymo's bodies.
	/SENSOR	Activate or deactivate an object (rigid body, interface, section, gauge, etc.) according to the defined characteristics (time, displacement, force, etc.).
