GeometricStructuralICs Properties

Initial displacement and velocity over a region

A GeometricStructuralICs object contains a description of the initial displacement and velocity over a geometric region for a transient structural model. A StructuralModel container has a vector of GeometricStructuralICs objects in its InitialConditions.StructuralICAssignments property.

To set initial conditions for your structural model, use the structuralIC function.

Properties

RegionType — Geometric region type

'Face' | 'Edge' | 'Vertex' | 'Cell' for a 3-D model

Geometric region type, specified as 'Face', 'Edge', or 'Vertex' for a 2-D model or 3-D model, or 'Cell' for a 3-D model.
