Allows
you to specify the rotational axis of the global rotating frame
of reference.
You can specify the rotational axis as either
a reference axis or an axis of reference coordinate system.
Procedure
- Specify the rotational axis:
In the flyout FeatureManager
design tree, select a reference Axis.
To create an axis, go to Insert > Reference Geometry > Axis.
In the flyout FeatureManager
design tree, select
a reference Coordinate system (or keep
the default Global Coordinate System), then in the Rotation
axis, select an axis of this coordinate system you want
to be a rotation axis.
To create a reference coordinate system, go to Insert > Reference Geometry
> Coordinate System.
Tip During the
definition of rotational axis in the graphics area you can see the
cyan arrows denoting the rotation axis and its positive direction,
and the direction of the specified angular velocity value. The positive
angular velocity value denotes angular velocity vector co-directional
with the axis direction.
