Rotation (hwx.inspire)#

class Rotation(location, direction, velocity=0, acceleration=0, **kwds)#

Bases: BoundaryCondition

Global rotation velocity and acceleration of the model.

Angular velocity defines the speed of rotation of the entire model and the axis about which it rotates. Angular acceleration is the rate of change of the model’s angular velocity.

Example

from hwx import inspire

model = inspire.newModel()
cylinder = model.createSolidCylinder(radius=1,height=6)
rotation = inspire.Rotation(
  location=(0, 0, 0), direction=(0, 0, 1), 
  velocity='15.0 rpm', acceleration='1.0 rad/s2', loadCase='current'
)
print("Some Rotation values:")
print("Rotation Velocity: " + str(rotation.velocity))
print("Rotation Acceleration: " + str(rotation.acceleration))

# modify some rotation attributes
rotation.velocity = '0.10471 rad/s'
rotation.acceleration = '10 rad/ms2'
rotation.velocityEnabled = False

inspire.orientView(direction="bottom")
inspire.fitView()

print("")
print("Rotation values after modification:")
print("Rotation Velocity: " + str(rotation.velocity))
print("Rotation Acceleration: " + str(rotation.acceleration))

property velocity#

The angular velocity.

The angular velocity defines the speed of rotation of the entire model and the axis about which it rotates.

property acceleration#

The angular acceleration.

The angular acceleration is the rate of change of the model’s angular velocity.

property velocityEnabled#: Sets the state of angular velocity

property accelerationEnabled#: Sets the state of angular acceleration

property direction#: The axis of rotation.
