3.11.1.5 Initial Rigid Angular Velocity
In dynamic analysis, the initial angular velocity of a rigid body can be set via the initial_rigid_angular_velocity rigid constraint. It requires the following parameters.
| parameters | Description |
| rb | The rigid body's material ID. (1) |
| value | The initial angular velocity vector |
Comments:
- This is the “id” attribute assigned to the corresponding rigid body material as defined in the Material section.
The following example defines an initial angular velocity for a rigid body.
<rigid_constraint type="initial_angular_rigid_velocity"> <rb>1</rb> <value>1,0,0</value> </rigid_constraint>
