# This is an example of an indata file for the Impact Finite Element Program # # It is a simple test of the variable constraint function where the end node is controlled over time by the constraint input. # The constraint can be turned off by replacing the number with "off". Linear interplation is assumed between the points. # # Please note that you can view the results with GID while the program is # running so there is no need to wait for the completion of this simulation. nodes 1 x = 0.0 y = 0.0 z = 0.0 constraint = moving 2 x = 5.0 y = 0.0 z = -4.0 3 x = 10.0 y = 0.0 z = -8.0 4 x = 15.0 y = 0.0 z = -10.0 5 x = 20.0 y = 0.0 z = -12.0 6 x = 25.0 y = 0.0 z = -13.0 7 x = 40.0 y = 0.0 z = -13.0 8 x = 45.0 y = 0.0 z = -14.0 9 x = 50.0 y = 0.0 z = -14.0 10 x = 55.0 y = 0.0 z = -15.0 11 x = 70.0 y = 0.0 z = -15.0 12 x = 75.0 y = 0.0 z = -14.0 13 x = 80.0 y = 0.0 z = -14.0 14 x = 85.0 y = 0.0 z = -13.0 15 x = 90.0 y = 0.0 z = -13.0 16 x = 95.0 y = 0.0 z = -12.0 17 x = 100.0 y = 0.0 z = -10.0 18 x = 105.0 y = 0.0 z = -8.0 19 x = 115.0 y = 0.0 z = -4.0 20 x = 120.0 y = 0.0 z = 0.0 constraint = moving load = end_load # D is the diameter of the rod.
