Body Force (Tank Sloshing)
Body frame (inertial reference frame)
Description
The body force (body frame/inertial reference frame) feature provides more options
for defining inertial reference frames. In addition to the existing linear
acceleration terms, angular acceleration and angular velocity can be defined and
activated as the simulation requires. This capability primarily expands performance
types for tank sloshing simulations.
- Time Dependent States
Along with constant acceleration values, the user can define time-dependent acceleration. Based on the option selected, the table will represent the columns.
- Advanced Options
In advanced options, the origin of the body frame and ramp-up start and end times can be defined. The body frame origin will be enabled only if the Angular / Centrifugal option is selected.
