From the Rotating Mass Actuator property dialog, the parameters for the rotating mass forcing function can be modified as shown in the figure and table below.
Figure 13.17: Description of parameters in the Rotating Mass Actuator property dialog
| Parameter | Symbol | Description | Dimension (Range) |
|
1. Force or Moment | N/A | Use to set type of rotating-mass forcing function. | N/A |
| 2. Mass | N/A | Use to set unbalance mass. |
