Specify body load for structural model
structuralBodyLoad(
specifies acceleration due to gravity as a body load for a static or transient
structural model. Structural models for modal analysis cannot have body
loads.structuralmodel
,'GravitationalAcceleration',GAval
)
structuralBodyLoad(
specifies an angular velocity to model centrifugal loading for an axisymmetric
structural model.structuralmodel
,'AngularVelocity',omega
)
structuralBodyLoad(
specifies a thermal load on a static structural analysis model.structuralmodel
,'Temperature',Tval
)
Tip
If Tval
is the temperature itself, and not a
change in temperature, you must specify a reference temperature using
structuralmodel.ReferenceTemperature
. Otherwise,
the toolbox uses the default value (zero) for the reference temperature.
For details, see StructuralModel
.
structuralBodyLoad(
uses the steady-state or transient thermal analysis results
structuralmodel
,'Temperature',Tresults
)Tresults
to specify a thermal load on a static
structural analysis model. If Tresults
is the solution of a
transient thermal problem, then this syntax uses the temperature and its
gradients from the last time step.
structuralBodyLoad(
uses the transient thermal analysis results structuralmodel
,'Temperature',Tresults
,'TimeStep',iT
)Tresults
and
the time step index iT
to specify a thermal load on a
static structural analysis model.
returns the body load object.bodyLoad
= structuralBodyLoad(___)
