-
From the Loads section
of the action bar, click Applied Rotation
 .
- Optional:
Enter a descriptive
Name.
-
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.
-
Enter the
Rotation distance.
-
Select the Degree of freedom that represents the axis of
rotation within the selected axis system.
-
Select an Axis system definition:
| Option | Description |
|---|
| Global
|
Aligns the local feature triad with the global coordinate
system. |
| Implicit |
Aligns the axis system to the transformed axis system applied on the
support. |
| Local |
Aligns the local feature triad with a selected axis system in the
model. If you select this axis system, you must also specify whether the
axis system is Cartesian or
Cylindrical. |
| Specify |
Orients the local feature triad directly. Right-click the feature
triad glyph on the model, and select an orientation tool. |
- Optional:
Enter a Scale factor that is applied to the magnitude in each step.
-
Select an
Amplitude that
defines the magnitude during the
step.
- Optional:
For harmonic response steps, specify the Phase angle for
the amplitude curve.
The phase angle determines the real (in-phase) and imaginary (out-of-phase)
parts of the magnitude. A phase angle of 0ยบ indicates a value with no imaginary
component.

Click
OK.
