Centrifugal forces
Hi,
I would like to apply a centrifugal force to my model so I created a loadcollector with card image RFORCE but I don't know what the fields refer.
I discovered that A refers to angular veolcity, RACC to angular acceleration, but what do the fileds G, CID, R1, R2, R3, IDRF refer to?

Thanks for the answer,
Where can I find the optistruct reference help?
Hi
enter menu Help of hypermesh
But I see it is very slow while browsing help documents, especially from v2017
So I usually enter folder <install dir>\help
and then use window search tool to search files, just enter 'rforce' in search box, the html file will appear soon
Thank you so much.
Hi
you can find it in optistruct reference help
G - origin of rota vector
CID - coordinate system of vector
R1R2R3 - components of vector
IDRF - id of element set applied this force
How to calculate R1 R2 and R3? I didn't fullt get it.

They are the versor components of rotation axis. For example : rotation axis parallel to z direction -> R1=0 R2=0 R3=1. In general you can use a vector parallel to rotation axis.
