AngularInitialCondition (hwx.inspire.motion.InitialCondition)

class AngularInitialCondition(self, **kwds)

Bases: InitialCondition

Defines rotational velocity for one or more parts.

Velocity initial conditions can be used to set parts into motion immediately with a prescribed velocity. In this way no “ramp up” time is required, unlike what you see when using a velocity actuator which has a profile function that begins from a velocity of zero.

property magnitude

Specifies the magnitude of the angular velocity.

property referenceFrame

Specifies a reference system.

• Positionable: The position of the initial condition is set using the Move tool.

• Each CG: Each part will rotate around its own center of gravity.

• System: The direction is dictated by the selected local system.

property location

Specifies the location of the initial condition object.

property direction

Specifies the axis of rotation for the angular initial condition.

property individualize

If True, angular initial condition is applied on each individual parts.
