Applying Rotations

You can use an applied rotation to prescribe rotation about an axis by a specified angle.


Before you begin: The model must have at least one rotational degree of freedom.
  1. Select the geometry supports in the model.

    You can apply a rotation to one or more points, edges, or faces. You can also select a coupling connection, rigid body, or rigid surface; the rotation is applied to the reference point for the feature.

    You can apply the rotation to a secondary base by selecting Sim feature as the type of support, then selecting the appropriate displacement restraint from the window that appears.

  2. Enter the Rotation distance.
  3. Select the Degree of freedom that represents the axis of rotation within the selected axis system.
  4. Select an Axis system definition:
  5. Click OK.
