Point Load Condition | Kratos Multiphysics Documentation

Edit me

The ApplyMPMParticleNeumannConditionProcess imposes a point load on a (moving) material point condition.

Parameters & Defaults

    "python_module" : "apply_mpm_particle_neumann_condition_process",
    "Parameters"    : {

}

`model_part_name`

String identifying the name of the target ModelPart to which the process is applied.

`variable_name`

String identifying the variable whose value is to be imposed using the Penalty method. The only admissible values is POINT_LOAD.

`constrained`

Admissible values are:

"fixed"
"normal"

`modulus`

Modulus of the vector to be assigned to the variable specified by variable_name. The value can be either a number or a string representing a function depending on space and/or time.

`direction`

Direction of the vector to be assigned to the variable specified by variable_name. Each component of the list can be either a number or a string representing a function depending on space and/or time.

`interval`

Time interval in which the process applies.
