Rotational velocity just produces centrifugal forces.  It doesn't actually rotate a body.  An axisymmetric body can't rotate out of plane to begin with.  You probably need to create a full 360 degree model.  The command ICROTATE will produce a relative velocity at the contact interfaces based on the radius, but just for a single rotational velocity.  It can't be ramped. Â
