The CHARGEMENT object can be named ( optional data). The CHARGEMENT objet may be made independent of any modelised structure when the CHPO1 geometrical support has no common node with this structure and the 'LIBRE' keyword used. It is for instance the case of a machining tool. Furthermore the displacement of a CHARGEMENT OBJECT, it may be 'LIBRE' or 'LIE ', can be described when the CHPO1 geometrical support has no common node with the structure and one of the options 'TRAN', 'ROTA' ou 'TRAJ' is chosen. In the procedure PASAPAS, the loading is computed ; thus if its nature is 'LIBRE' it is projected as it is, else it is first applied to the structure initial configuration and then shifted to the current configuration Contents : __________ MOT : optional data CHARACTER*4 Words for the procedure PASAPAS - temperature T - imposed displacements DIMP - imposed temperatures TIMP - others loadings in mecanics MECA - follower normal pressure PSUI - flux (consolidation) FLUX - thermic flux Q - external temperatures TE - external variables ? CHPO1 : space description of the loading CHPOINT type or MCHAML type EVOL1 : time description of the loading (EVOLUTION type) : function containing in abscissa the times (in chronological order) and in ordinate the values F(TEMP) of the function F for each value of the times TEMP. or TABLE1 : TABLE.I = FLOT1 I : INTEGER I = 0, 1, 2, ... ,N FLOT1 : FLOTTANT (description of the time) TABLE2 : TABLE.I = CHPO1 I : INTEGER (the same as before) CHPO1 : space description of the loading CHPOINT type or MCHAML type 'LIBRE','LIE ' : optional keymord setting the dependance of the CHARGEMENT to the modelised structure (default 'LIE '). optional displacement (the default CHARGEMENT is 'STATIQUE') : 'TRAN' : optional keyword, implying that the loading is in translation with respect to the structure, followed by VEC1 : direction of translation (type POINT) EVOL2 : time description of the translation (EVOLUTION type), function containing in abscissa the times (in chronological order) and in ordinate the values F(TEMP) of the velocity for each value of the times TEMP. or 'ROTA' : optional keyword, implying that the loading is in rotation tion with respect to the structure, followed by POIN1 POIN2 : (type POINT) points defining the oriented axis of rotation EVOL2 : time description of the translation (EVOLUTION type), function containing in abscissa the times (in chronological order) and in ordinate the values F(TEMP) of the angular velocity for each value of the times TEMP. or 'TRAJ' : optional keyword, implying that the loading displacement with respect to the structure is described by a trajectory, followed by CHPO2 : (CHPOINT type), the field's support is the set of points of the trajectory and its unique component, named 'TEMP' collects the dates in the chronology. The field support must be built with respect to this chronology.
