Acceleration dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)

Type
Type	Controls how you define the acceleration load:Whole Model-ComponentsLets you define an acceleration on the entire model by specifying the components of the acceleration in terms of a specified coordinate system.To apply the acceleration to models in the the Samcef Axisymmetric and Other 2D Structural environment, select Whole Model-Components ZX or Whole Model-Components XY.Whole Model-Magnitude and Direction Lets you define an acceleration on the entire model by specifying the magnitude of the acceleration and the direction of the acceleration.To apply the acceleration to models in the the Samcef Axisymmetric and Other 2D Structural environment, select Whole Model-Magnitude and Direction ZX or Whole Model-Magnitude and Direction XY.Model Subset-ComponentsLets you define an acceleration on elements by specifying the components of the acceleration in terms of a specified coordinate system. To apply the acceleration to elements in the the Samcef Axisymmetric and Other 2D Structural environment, select Model Subset-Components ZX or Model Subset-Components XY.Model Subset-Magnitude and Direction Lets you define an acceleration on elements by specifying the magnitude of the acceleration and the direction of the acceleration.To apply the acceleration to elements in the the Samcef Axisymmetric and Other 2D Structural environment, select Model Subset-Magnitude and Direction ZX or Model Subset-Magnitude and Direction XY.
Destination Folder
Load Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the boundary condition will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.To view a hierarchical list of existing folders, click Folder Manager . To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Model Object
Group Reference	Appears when Type is set to Model Subset-Components or Model Subset-Magnitude and Direction. Lets you apply the acceleration to a group.For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object	Lets you select the geometry or FE entities on which the load will be applied.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Excluded	Appears when Type is set to Model Subset-Components or Model Subset-Magnitude and Direction. Lets you remove individual entities from within the selected object.
Magnitude
Appears when Type is set to Whole Model - Magnitude and Direction or Model Subset-Magnitude and Direction.
Acceleration	Sets the magnitude of the acceleration.
Direction
CSYS	Appears when Type is set to Whole Model-Components ZX or Whole Model-Components XY.Sets the coordinate system that the software uses to apply the acceleration. You can select the Global Cyclic Analysis or the Global coordinate system, or you can create one of the following types of local coordinate systems: Cartesian, Cylindrical, Spherical.Note: The Global Cyclic Analysis coordinate system is available only if it is defined in the FEM.
Specify Vector	Appears when Type is set to Whole Model-Components ZX or Whole Model-Components XY.Appears when Type is set to Model Subset-Components ZX or Model Subset-Components XY.Defines the direction of the load.For more information, see Vector dialog box.Click Reverse Direction to reverse the direction of the vector.
Components
Appears when Type is set to Whole Model-Components , Whole Model-Components ZX or Whole Model-Components XY.Appears when Type is set to Model Subset-Components , Model Subset-Components ZX or Model Subset-Components XY.
Magnitude	Specifies the magnitude of the load.
Ax, Ay, Az	Appear when Magnitude is set to Expressions.Specifies the magnitude for each component of the acceleration. The components available depend on the specified coordinate system type.
Specify Field	Appears when Magnitude is set to Field.Lets you select or define a field.
Scale Factors	Appears when Magnitude is set to Field.Sets the scale factor (for each component) to apply to the field.The components available depend on the coordinate system type.
Card Name	Displays the name of the solver card this object will write to : .CLM ACC .
