Analysis Panel - Initial Conditions

The Initial Conditions tab on the Analysis panel allows you to specify initial conditions for analyses.

Option		Description
Translational velocity	Vx, Vy, Vz	Use to set the initial translational velocity of all bodies in an analysis.
Rotational velocity	Wx, Wy, Wz	Use to set the initial rotational velocity of all bodies in an analysis.

The check box to the left of each initial condition indicates whether the initial condition is to be applied. When the check box is on, the solver default is used.

Initial conditions can be applied to any analysis in the model. The initial conditions applied to an analysis are automatically applied to its subanalyses. If the initial conditions of subanalyses are set separately, the settings override those of the analysis above it. Each initial setting that is overridden by a subanalysis is listed on the right side of the parent analysis’ initial conditions tab.
