Class
    Foam::RBD::restraints::externalForce
 
Group
    grpRigidBodyDynamicsRestraints
 
Description
    Time-dependent external force restraint using Function1.
 
Usage
    Example applying a constant force to the floatingObject:
    \verbatim
    restraints
    {
        force
        {
            type        externalForce;
            body        floatingObject;
            location    (0 0 0);
            force       (100 0 0);
        }
    }
    \endverbatim
