-
From the
Loads section of the
action bar,
click
Applied Translational Velocity
 .
- Optional:
Enter a descriptive
Name.
-
Select the geometry supports in the model.
A translational velocity can be applied to one or more points,
edges, or faces. You can also select a coupling connection, rigid body, or
rigid surface; the velocity is applied to the reference point for the feature.
You can apply the translational velocity 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
Velocity magnitude.
-
Select a
DOF representing the direction of the velocity
within the selected
axis
system.
-
Select one of the following as the Axis system definition:
| Option | Description |
|---|
| Global
|
Aligns the local feature triad with the global coordinate
system. |
|---|
| 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. |
|---|
| Implicit | Aligns
the axis system to the transformed axis system applied on the support. |
|---|
- 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 determine the real (in-phase) and imaginary (out-of-phase) parts of the
magnitude. A phase angle of 0ยบ indicates a completely real (non-imaginary)
value.

Click
OK.
