This interface is used to create accelerometers which in LS-DYNA are defined using the *ELEMENT_SEATBELT_ACCELEROMETER keyword card. An accelerometer is a tria element and all 3 nodes must be rigid. Rigid nodes are those belonging to a rigid body, a *CONSTRAINED_NODAL_RIGID_BODY, or extra nodes to a rigid body. Node1 of the accelerometer is defined in *DATABASE_HISTORY_NODE for outputting time histories to NODOUT and other binary time history databases. The accelerations are output in the accelerometer local coordinate system.
There are two methods for define seatbelt accelerometer data.
Three Nodes : Create accelerometer by three nodes.
Three Position : Create accelerometer by three position.
