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 angle Fph 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 Mph for harmonic loads. Enter the phase for each component of the moment load in the corresponding fields.
