Define a centrifugal pressure load

Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Centrifugal Pressure .
In the Centrifugal Pressure dialog box, in the Model Objects group, click Select Object and select the geometry or FE entity to which the pressure will be applied.
Use the Rotation Axis options to specify a vector and a point that define the axis of rotation.
Under Centrifugal Loading Parameters, enter the following:A value for Liquid Density; for example, 0.0305 lb/in3.A value for Angular Velocity; for example, 3000 rev/min.A value for Inlet Radius; for example, 2.0 in, if the inlet is not on center.A value for Static Pressure; for example, 200 psi. Enter the value as an expression or field.For some values, you can use one of these methods:Select Expression to use a constant value or expression to define the value.For more information, see Expressions.Select Field to define a value that varies with frequency, temperature, or time.For more information, see Using fields and expressions to define boundary conditions.
Click OK.The load is applied to the model.
