Solid Motion Effects
Use a Solid Motion Effects simulation object to model the following:
The transient thermal effects of the movement of selected elements in the model, using the Articulation type, and a Joint or Joint-Orbital Tracker modeling object.
The thermal effects of a spinning model, the Spinning — All Elements type.
The thermal effects of a model with a spinning component, the Spinning — Selected Elements type.
