Motion on Joints with MOTNJG

 

• MOTNJG card used for define Motion interms of displacement, acceleration,velocity,etc for JOINTG. 
• If VALUE field for particular DOF on MOTNJG bulk data entry is positive, then positive relative motion is enforced on joint.
• The actual motion of joint grids may be towards or away from each other depending on the joint interpretation section.

1.MOTNJG Basic Parameter

Format

Where,

Field	Contents
ID	Motion set identification number. (Integer > 0)
JIDi	Identification number of a JOINTG Bulk Data Entry on which the motion is to be applied.
DOF	Degree of freedom component number. No default (1 ≤ Integer ≤ 6)
VALUE	Real Motion value to be applied on the identified degree of freedom for the specified JOINTG joint. For more information, see the corresponding joint description on the JOINTG entry. FIXED The corresponding degrees of freedom of the JOINTG entry are fixed. No default

2.Creating MOTNJG
