NodalStructuralICs Properties

Initial displacement and velocity at mesh nodes

Domain-specific structural workflow is not recommended. New features might not be compatible with this workflow. For help migrating your existing code to the unified finite element workflow, see Migration from Domain-Specific to Unified Workflow.

A NodalStructuralICs object contains a description of the initial displacement and velocity at mesh nodes. A StructuralModel container has a vector of GeometricStructuralICs objects in its InitialConditions.StructuralICAssignments property.

To set initial conditions for your structural model, use the structuralIC function.
