Hello, I am trying to perform a centrifugal governor analysis in Transient structural and there are some parts I am stuck on.

 

 - First of all, this system works with the effect of centrifugal force and I want to read the values ​​of the centrifugal force with the angle of the lever arms, but I cannot obtain the centrifugal force. In order to see this force with increasing number of revolutions, should I additionally assign a joint probe to the arms (even though I tried this method, I did not get results) or should I follow a different method?

 

- Another situation is that the movement of the system is given by appropriate joints and contacts.

I can see it with remote displacement, but I cannot see the angle of the lever arms with the change of the spring coefficient. So even if I change the spring coefficient, the movement of the system remains the same. However, when I increase the spring coefficient, the compression distance of the spring should decrease, but I get this error. I made the spring coordinates dependent on the spring bearing coordinates.

 

I am attaching the images related to the topics I mentioned and the joints I used. I would be very happy if you can help me.

Hi,

For checking the relative roatation try using a general joint as indicated here: How to retrieve relative rotation between faces in ANSYS Mechanical (ozeninc.com)

For force reaction please see if the following post helps: Rigid Dynamics – Forces on revolute joint (ansys.com)
