Phase
You can add a
Phase
subnode to nodes which define a load in order to prescribe the phase angle in a frequency domain analysis.
For modeling the frequency response the physics interface splits the harmonic load into two parameters:
•
The amplitude,
F
, which is specified in the node for the load.
•
The phase (
), which is specified in the
Phase
subnode.
Together these define a harmonic load, for which the amplitude and phase shift can vary with the excitation frequency,
f
:
Phase
Add the phase load
F
ph
for harmonic loads. Enter the phase for each component of the load in the corresponding fields.
Moment Load Phase
Add the phase for the moment load
M
ph
for harmonic loads. Enter the phase for each component of the moment load in the corresponding fields.
