how to add gas force in inspire motion

I am doing an multibody dynamics analysis of Rotary compressor in Altair inspire motion. I want to ask how can I add gas force in altair inspire

Hi Puneet,

Some further clarity on your problem setup would be helpful for providing the best answer to your question, but I'll add some food for thought...

• Pressures are not supported in motion, only force
• If you need to apply a force, use the Actuator feature and specify the type as Force
• The actuators have different end conditions (ball mount, fixed mount, rotate with part, etc.).  I am attaching an image here that shows an example of the different ways actuators can be treated.
• In the current release, Inspire supports only force vs. time
• If you need forces on multiple faces, use multiple actuators

Again, without seeing/understanding your exact model setup, it is difficult to give you a definitive direction.  But hopefully some of the points above will help.
