sixDoFRigidBodyDisplacement

Description

Usage

The condition requires entries in both the boundary and field files.

Boundary file

<patchName>
{
    type            patch;
    ...
}

Field file

<patchName>
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            sixDoFRigidBodyDisplacement;

    // Optional entries
    rho             <word>;
    g               <vector>;
    initialPoints   <pointField>;

    // Conditional entries

        // if 'rho rhoInf;'
        rhoInf      <scalar>;

    // Inherited entries
    // sixDoFRigidBodyMotion settings
    ...
}

where:

Property	Description	Type	Required	Default
