Card 9 - ARPARAM Articulation Parameters

KODE

KODE is the code ARPARAM (or 51)

N1

N1 is the parameter type. It can only be TIME.

T1

T1 is the starting time of the articulation movement.

T2

T2 is the ending time of the articulation movement.

T3

T3 is the interval of time when calculations of time-dependent view factors and radiative conductances are to be calculated for analysis.

Code example

 ARPARAM TIME 0 10 0.5
 $ ARTICULATION STARTS AT TIME 0, AND ENDS AT TIME 10.
 $ TIME DEPENDENT RADIATIVE CONDUCTANCES
 $ ARE CALCULATED AT EVERY HALF SECOND

Notes

When an ORBIT card is present in the input file, the articulation parameter card is not considered. The start time, end time and time interval are superseded by the values in the ORBIT card.
