Hi all,

 

I am working on a helicopter blade model. I want to check the effects of centrifugal force on the rotor blade..

I referred to the RForce load card in hypermesh help.. I could not understand the fields required to define the load..

I have attached a screenshot of my question here..

    If you are using N,mm,tone,sec unit the RFORCE should be in RPS.
