Motion of a gate

maryam

I my case, I am trying to simulate the sediment flushing in an open channel with a sluice gate. I defined a simple rectilinear motion for the gate to open in the z direction. How can I modify the motion so that the gate will kept closed after the simulation started because of the hydrostatic pressure. Can I set the motion start time at 5 s for example for a simulation time of 10 s?

Hi maryam,
as far I remember that should be possible. Your .XML Def at the end should look somewhat like this:







You migth want to have a look into the CaseTemplate, located in the HELP directory. Best

Thanks!
