Description
Constraint self weight defines gravity acceleration 9,81 m/s^2 acting on the whole model in the prescribed direction.
Usage
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the FEM ConstraintSelfWeight button.
- Select the Model → Mechanical Constraints → Constraint self weight option from the menu.
- You can modify the direction of gravitation by changing its vector coordinates in the property bar of newly created ConstraintSelfWeight object.
Scripting
New object
import ObjectsFem
ObjectsFem.makeConstraintSelfWeight( name )
Add object to the analysis named Analysis
App.ActiveDocument.Analysis.Member = App.ActiveDocument.Analysis.Member + [ (object) ]
Example:
import ObjectsFem
selfweight_obj = ObjectsFem.makeConstraintSelfWeight( 'MySelfWeightObject' )
App.ActiveDocument.Analysis.Member = App.ActiveDocument.Analysis.Member + [selfweight_obj]
Solver CalculiX
Limitations
- You need to modify .inp file to edit gravity acceleration.
- Self weight is applied to the element set Eall means to the whole model.
Editing CalculiX input file
Acceleration constant can be edited by hand modification after generating CalculiX input file.
Example of lines in .inp file:
*DLOAD
Eall,GRAV,9810,0.0,0.0,-1.0
where 9810 is gravity acceleration magnitude in [mm/s^2], and 0,0,-1 is direction vector.
