Set the value of rigid block attributes. This command is a synonym for the
rblock initialize
command. Individual attributes can be listed with therblock list
command and all attributes can be visualized.Note
- Modification of the rigid block geometry will fail if the resulting rigid block would not fall entirely within the model domain.
- Rigid block attributes are characteristics of the rigid blocks such as position or size. These are distinct from rigid block properties (assigned with the
rblock property
command) that are surface properties of the rigid blocks that are used to fill contact model properties.
- displacement v
Accumulated rigid block displacement vector as a result of cycling.
- displacement-x f
The x-component of the accumulated rigid block displacement as a result of cycling.
- displacement-y f
The y-component of accumulated displacement as a result of cycling.
- displacement-z f (3D ONLY)
The z-component of accumulated displacement as a result of cycling.
- euler v (3D ONLY)
Current orientation of 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. The orientation is updated only when orientation tracking has been enabled (see
model orientation-tracking
command). When active, the current rigid block orientation can be visualized.
- euler-x f (3D ONLY)
The x-euler angle (in degrees) of the current rigid block orientation. See the euler keyword for further details.
- euler-y f (3D ONLY)
The y-euler angle (in degrees) of the current rigid block orientation. See the euler keyword for further details.

The z-euler angle (in degrees) of the current rigid block orientation. See the euler keyword for further details.

- moi-11 f
11 component of the rigid block real moment of inertia. When modified, only the rigid block principal moments of inertia are modified and the other rigid block attributes are not changed. The specification of the rigid block principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a rigid block, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the
rblock.moi.fix
intrinsic).
- moi-12 f
12 component of the rigid block real moment of inertia. When modified, only the rigid block principal moments of inertia are modified and the other rigid block attributes are not changed. The specification of the rigid block principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a rigid block, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the
rblock.moi.fix
intrinsic).
- moi-13 f
13 component of the rigid block real moment of inertia. When modified, only the rigid block principal moments of inertia are modified and the other rigid block attributes are not changed. The specification of the rigid block principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a rigid block, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the
rblock.moi.fix
intrinsic).
- moi-22 f
22 component of the rigid block real moment of inertia. When modified, only the rigid block principal moments of inertia are modified and the other rigid block attributes are not changed. The specification of the rigid block principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a rigid block, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the
rblock.moi.fix
intrinsic).
- moi-23 f
23 component of the rigid block real moment of inertia. When modified, only the rigid block principal moments of inertia are modified and the other rigid block attributes are not changed. The specification of the rigid block principal moments of inertia via the command line or via FISH results in the principal moments of inertia being in a fixed state so that they will not be automatically updated when scaling a rigid block, changing the volume, or changing the density. The fix state can be modified in FISH (see the

- moi-33 f
33 component of the rigid block real moment of inertia. When modified, only the rigid block principal moments of inertia are modified and the other rigid block attributes are not changed.
