~BLVC, Type, d, start, end, xLoc, yLoc

Defines options for the vehicle definition

SOLUTION: BRIDGE AND CIVIL NON LINEARITIES: Bridge model loads

Type

 Vehicle type:

0 or blank	Rigid (by default).
1	Flexible (adaptable to the trajectory).

d

Exempt distance before the vehicle passage.

start

Part of the vehicle that remains off the bridge at the beginning of the load generation.

end

Part of the vehicle that remains over the bridge at the end of the load generation.

xLoc, yLoc

Center coordinates in order to locate the vehicle in the trajectory.

Notes

- This command must be included in the loop of vehicle definition, the beginning of which is carried out with the ~BLVST command and ends with the ~BLVEND command.

- The exempt zone, defined as a rectangle parallel to the vehicle, cannot be occupied by any vehicle.

- If the exempt zone is not defined, it is considered that two vehicles will be able to touch each other (although they will not be able to occupy the same position).

- The d field can be negative. In this case, the exemption zone will disappear and consecutive vehicles will overlap.
