Description
Inputs
- airbagmark=<mark_id>
- The ID of the mark containing the airbag components. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- nodesmark=<mark_id>
- The ID of the mark containing the node defining which side of the airbag from the folding line will be folded. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- linestart={<value>}
- The coordinates of the start point of the folding line.
- lineend={<value>}
- The coordinates of the end point of the folding line.
- method=<value>
- Defines the motion of the zigzag plates:
- nplies=<value>
- The number of plates to be created on each side of the airbag. It must be a positive integer value (default 10).
- distplates=<value>
- The lateral distance between 2 consecutive plates (default 50.0 mm). This distance is also equal to the height of the zigzag plates, also minimum resulting distance from both the criterion nplies and distplates will be considered.
- fixedsidewidth=<value>
- The width of the rigid plates in mm to hold the fixed side of airbag between upper and lower fixed rigid plates (default 50.0 mm).
- exportdir=<value>
- The directory path where the resulting solver deck is exported. User should have the write permission in this directory. Default is set to the location defined by the environment variable ALTAIR_HOME.
