Motion

Analysis > Loads > Motion

This command is used to define translational / rotational velocity.

Description

  1. Motion can be applied to nodes / edges(edge nodes) / faces(face nodes) / vertices(Vertex nodes).
  2. The direction and magnitude of the velocity should be specified.
  3. For rotational velocity the coordinate in which the axis is used, should be specified.
