INVELJ	1	3	REV		10.0

Field	Contents
SID	Load set identification number. (Integer > 0)
JID	Joint identification number. (Integer > 0)
JTYPE	Joint type. Options = (REV, CYL, or TRANS) No default
VT	Translational velocity Real, when JTYPE = TRANS
VR	Rotational velocity Real, when JTYPE = REV

1.	Only one initial velocity per joint can be defined in a load set.

2.	Initial velocities of joints defined by INVELJ will be overwritten by MOTNJ, MOTNJE, or MOTNJC.
