Reply To: Rotation velocity in static structural

[peteroznewman]

In Static Structural, you can compute the stress due to the centrifugal force = m omega^2 r acting on each element for a wheel spinning at 1500 RPM by using the Inertial load of rotational velocity.  This load can be applied to a wheel that has a fixed support at the center hole of the wheel. The wheel does not rotate during the simulation.  You will see a slight radial deformation due to the centrifugal force caused by the rotational velocity inertial load. You correctly converted RPM to revolutions/second.
