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.
