*SetBody() - asymmetric body pair

Sets the mass properties of an asymmetric body pair.

Syntax

*SetBody(body_name, ,mass_l, ixx_l, iyy_l, izz_l,          
                               ixy_l, ixz_l, iyz_l, , 
                               mass_r, ixx_r, iyy_r, izz_r, 
                               ixy_r, ixz_r, iyz_r)

Example

*Body(crank, "Crank", crank_cm)

0, 0, 0, 
15, 3, 4, 5, 
0, 0, 0)

Context

*DefineAnalysis()

*DefineSystem()

Comments

The second argument, which is used for specifying symmetry, is empty when assigning asymmetric coordinates to a body pair.
