Determine the rotation rate

Submitted by ehsan on Fri, 05/31/2013 - 09:56

Hi all
I have a ring that rotates around the Z axis . Is there any other way (except to change period) to determine the rotation rate?

THANK YOU

mesh/vtk args = zero or more keyword/ value pairs and one or more dump-identifiers
keywords = output
output values = face or interpolate
dump-identifier = 'stress' or 'id' or 'wear' or 'vel'

You can find out the rotational velocity when you open the resulting vtk fileseries in paraview, create a new view and use "spreadsheet view".
If you are interested in influencing the rotational velocity over time (or simply love to use omega instead of period) try the fix move rotate/variable.
