60.23.1 Members

The OdbRigidBody object can have the following members:

Prototype

odb_Enum::odb_PositionEnum position() const;
bool isothermal() const;
odb_Set referenceNode() const;
odb_Set elements() const;
odb_Set tieNodes() const;
odb_Set pinNodes() const;
odb_AnalyticSurface analyticSurface() const;

position

An odb_Enum::odb_PositionEnum specifying the specific location of the OdbRigidBody reference node relative to the rest of the rigid body. Possible values are odb_Enum::INPUT and odb_Enum::CENTER_OF_MASS. The default value is odb_Enum::INPUT.

isothermal

A Boolean specifying specify whether the OdbRigidBody can have temperature gradients or be isothermal. This is used only for fully coupled thermal-stress analysis The default value is true.

referenceNode

An OdbSet object specifying the reference node set associated with the rigid body.

elements

An OdbSet object specifying the element set whose motion is governed by the motion of rigid body reference node.

tieNodes

An OdbSet object specifying the node set which have both translational and rotational degrees of freedom associated with the rigid body.

pinNodes

An OdbSet object specifying the node set which have only translational degrees of freedom associated with the rigid body.

analyticSurface

An AnalyticSurface object specifying the analytic surface whose motion is governed by the motion of rigid body reference node.
