SRFID |
Surface identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
NROW |
Number of rows of nodes. |
NCOL |
Number of columns of nodes. |
ENDTYPE |
Select from: NATURAL, PARABOLIC and PERIODIC. See comment 1. Default = NATURAL |
NSEGU, NSEGV |
Number of segments along the U and V coordinates used to discretize the deformable surface for animation purposes. No default (Integer > 0) |
G1, G2, … |
Row-wise list of nodes. The first NROW IDs form the first row; the second NROW IDs form the second row, and so on. The list must contain a total of NROW*NCOL grid IDs. |
Comments
1. | The deformable surface is generated using the CUBIC spline interpolation which requires assumptions on the second derivative of the interpolating function at the end of the surface. The keywords NATURAL, PARABOLIC and PERIODIC represent assumptions defined as follows: |
2. | The MBDSRF element is not supported by the Force Imbalance method of static equilibrium. |
3. | The MBDSRF element does not possess any inherent inertia, stiffness or damping. |
4. | This card is represented as a set in HyperMesh. |
