Nastran environment > Nastran rotor dynamic analysis (SOL 414)
Create an unbalance mass
Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Load Type list→Unbalance Mass .
In the Unbalance Mass dialog box, from the type list, select Unbalance Load .
In the Nodes Group, use Select Object to select the node where the origin of the rotor coordinate system is located.
In the Rotor group, select a previously defined rotor region from the list or use Create Region to create a new rotor region.
In the Unbalance Load group, specify an eccentric mass and the eccentricity of the eccentric mass.
Click OK.
