Primary keywords:
active brick-id flow-velocity group orientation position relaxation-steps relaxation-time rotation-center spin velocity
Create an inlet with ID
id
. An inlet uses the data stored in a brick to generate bodies during cycling.- active b
Set the inlet activity status. The default is
false
.
- brick-id i
Set the brick.
- flow-velocity v
Set the flow velocity.
- group s <slot slot >
The group slot slot is set to s for the newly created bodies. If
slot
is not specified, then the group slotDefault
is set to s.
- orientation v
Set the inlet orientation from Euler angles following the X,Y,Z convention (e.g., rotation about the \(x\)-axis followed by rotation about the \(y’\)-axis followed by rotation about the \(z’\)-axis) in degrees.
- position v
Set the inlet position. The position corresponds to the position of the centroid of the brick extent.
- relaxation-steps i1 <i2 >
Activate inlet relaxation scheme based on the number of steps. A force equal and opposite to the out-of-balance force is applied to the bodies inserted up to
i1
steps. Ifi2
is specified, then the applied force is multiplied by a factor linearly decaying from 1 to 0 between stepsi1
andi2
.
- relaxation-time f1 <f2 >
Activate inlet relaxation scheme based on the mechanical time. A force equal and opposite to the out-of-balance force is applied to the bodies inserted up to an elapsed mechanical time of
f1
steps. Iff2
is specified, then the applied force is multiplied by a factor linearly decaying from 1 to 0 between timesf1
andf2
.
- rotation-center v
Set the inlet rotation center.
- spin v
Set the inlet angular velocity. Rotation occurs with respect to the rotation center.
- velocity v
Set the inlet translational velocity. If not null, the center of rotation is also translated during motion.
