We wish to use ansys to collect trajectory data of several axe designs being thrown at the same speed and same rotational speed (initial conditions). I was hoping someone would be so kind to help me get started! I have mocked something up on ansys Motion but have a few questions:<\/p>\n<p>-First of all, is this the correct toolbox for the task?<\/p>\n<p>-Secondly, I am afraid the speed and rotation I have given the axe are fixed and that the actual inertia of the axe is not doing anything to change the initial speed and rotation. How can I be sure that those are only initial conditions and do not persist for the whole simulation?<\/p>\n<p>-Third: How can I map the trajectory of the axe to have some data to download (like the center of mass position) and how can I make sure each axe design I load has the same starting point in space in respect to a given target? Should I model the target in the same file? Or is there a way to create an ambient setting of sorts&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance an I am sorry if some of my requests seem a little simplistic!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Initial axe simulation\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/07-03-2024-1709849305-Screenshot 2024-03-07 230339.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-355992","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-angle","topic-tag-simulation"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["79539","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.52.43.81"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["306"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["355992"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","79539"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["9"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["360219"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["360219"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-04-03 09:00:10"]},"test":"nicolo-bagnoliepfl-ch"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/355992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/355992\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
