Solid Motion Effects — Spinning options

Option	Description
Destination Folder
Simulation Object Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the boundary condition will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.
Folder Manager	Displays a hierarchical listing of existing folders. To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Region
Select Object	Appears when Type is set to Spinning — All Elements.Selects the model automatically.
Group Reference	Appears when Type is set to Spinning — Selected Elements.Applies the boundary condition to the selected group. For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object	Appears when Type is set to Spinning — Selected Elements.Lets you select the spinning region.Excluded lets you remove elements from within your selected object. The software does not apply the simulation object to the excluded elements.Note: The Element Selection Filtering options are available when the Type Filter list on the Top Border bar is set to Elements.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Spinning Parameters
Spinning Axis	Specifies the axis about which the model spins. Global Cyclic AnalysisAppears if you defined the cyclic symmetry cylindrical coordinate system in the FEM. Spins the elements around the Z-axis of the cyclic symmetry cylindrical coordinate system. User-DefinedLets you specify the spinning axis. Use the Specify Vector options to specify the direction of revolution, and use the Specify Point options to specify the location of the axis.
Number of Calculations per Spin	Sets the number of calculations, N, that the thermal solver performs per spin about the axis.The thermal solver calculates the view factors and thermal couplings, each time rotating the spinning region by 360/N degrees. The thermal solver then averages the view factors and thermal couplings of these N positions.The view factors include:Solar, earth, and albedo view factors from orbital heatingHeat flux view factors from radiative heatingBlack body and ray-traced view factors from the deterministic and hemicube methodsRay-traced view factors, radiative couplings, and heat loads from the Monte Carlo method
