A GeometricStructuralICs object contains a description of the initial displacement and velocity over a geometric region for a transient structural model. A StructuralModel container has a vector of GeometricStructuralICs objects in its InitialConditions.StructuralICAssignments property.

To set initial conditions for your structural model, use the structuralIC function.

Geometric region type, specified as 'Face', 'Edge', or 'Vertex' for a 2-D model or 3-D model, or 'Cell' for a 3-D model.

Data Types: char | string

Geometric region ID, specified as a vector of positive integers. Find the region IDs by using pdegplot.

Data Types: double

Initial displacement, specified as a numeric vector or function handle. For details, see structuralIC.

Data Types: double | function_handle

Initial velocity, specified as a numeric vector or function handle. For details, see structuralIC.
