Display the Coriolis force load editor using one of the following
methods:
-
To create a new rotational body force load, follow the procedure
outlined in
Creating loads
(Category: Mechanical ;
Types for Selected Step: Coriolis
force ).
If you are working in two- or three-dimensional space, enter in
the prompt area the required information concerning the location and, if
applicable, direction of the axis of rotation.
-
To edit an existing Coriolis force load using menus or managers,
see
Editing step-dependent objects.
To edit the region to which the load is applied, see
Editing the region to which a prescribed condition is applied.
If you are editing a load in the step in which it was created, an
Edit (
) button appears next to each point you specified in the
load editor. Click
if you want to change the coordinates that determine the
location and, if applicable, direction of the axis of rotation. (This option
applies only if you are working in two- or three-dimensional space.)
-
Click the arrow to the right of the Distribution
field, and select the option of your choice from the list that appears:
-
Select Uniform to define a load that is
uniform over the body.
-
Select an analytical field to define a spatially varying load.
Only analytical fields that are valid for this load type are displayed in the
selection list. Alternatively, you can click
to create a new analytical field. (See
The Analytical Field toolset
for more information.)
-
In the Coriolis force field, enter the magnitude
of the force.
-
If desired, click the arrow to the right of the
Amplitude field, and select the amplitude of your choice
from the list that appears. Alternatively, you can click
to create a new amplitude. (See
The Amplitude toolset
for more information.)
-
Click OK to save your data and to exit the
editor.
