We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

The acceleration of the motor is obtained by applying a force equal to the desired acceleration divided by the motor mass.  Even though the acceleration is actually at the motor.  Applying a base acceleration should produce the same relative results.  The only error is that the base acceleration is applied to the entire model.  Here are commands that apply a pressure psd based on a unit pressure applied in the modal:

sfdele,all,all
psdunit,2,press
lvscale,1! scale pressure from modal
psdfrq,2,,10,50,100,500,1000
psdval,2,0.01,0.02,0.022,0.042,0.03
pfact,2,node! nodal excitation
!dmprat,.01 ! damping ratio
