I am having trouble deciding on what boundary conditions to use for my transient structural computation. A body temperature and rotational velocity are my two loads.

The geometry shown is 2D axisymmetric. The rotational axis is the x-axis, and the edge along the y-axis should be symmetrical such that the model represents a rotor disc.

Any suggestions?

Hi When you add loads or supports in a static or transient analysis, theTabular DataandGraphwindows appear. You can enter the load history, that is, Time vs Load tabular data in the tabular data grid. Another option is to apply loads as functions of time. In this case you will enter the equation of how the load varies with respect to time. The procedures for applying tabular or function loads are outlined under theDefining Boundary Condition Magnitudesection.
Refer to Transient Structural Analysis (ansys.com) for more info on the analysis setting.

Hi, The tabular data and graph window doesn't appear for supports. It only appears for loads. I want to make my supports time dependant. Is there a way to create supports as a function of time?
