Prescribed Rotation
The Prescribed Rotation node imposes a coordinate transformation to the selected domain that effectively rotates it a prescribed angle. It is used to model a rotating part. The angle can also be time-dependent.
Prescribed Rotation
Enter the Rotation angle α rot (SI unit: radians).
•
For 2D components, enter the X and Y coordinates for the Rotation axis base point rax (SI unit: m) identifying the fixed point of the rotation. The axis of rotation is the z (out-of-plane) axis.
•
For 3D components, specify the rotation axis by entering the coordinates of the Rotation axis base point rax (SI unit: m) and the components of the Rotation axis urot (dimensionless).
