User Defined Initial Conditions dialog box

This dialog box applies only to Transient events.

Initial Condition Entry Method
Manual Data Entry Allows you to define the initial conditions by entering data in the Initial Displacement and Initial Velocity boxes.
From Existing EEF File Allows you to continue an analysis from a previous event. Use the event evaluation file (EEF) from another event to provide modal displacement and velocity values that define the initial conditions for the current event. See Set up sequential transient events for more information.
Existing EEF File Enter the path and file name of the EEF file to define the initial conditions for this event. You save an EEF file when you create an event on the New Event dialog box.
Initial Conditions
Mode # The mode number for which you are defining initial displacement and velocity. An asterisk indicates the mode is active and included in the event.
Initial Displacement The initial displacement for the selected mode.
Initial Velocity The initial velocity for the selected mode.
