Definition

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
node_ID	Node number (Integer)
VX, VY, VZ	Translational nodal velocity components	$\left[\frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}}\right]$
VXR, VYR, VZR	Rotational nodal velocity components	$\left[\frac{\text{rad}}{\text{s}}\right]$

Comments

1. This keyword maps to /INIVEL.
2. If the node_ID is a secondary node of a rigid body, the initial velocity is not applied to the node.
