Rotation
Use a rotation measure to measure model rotations in terms of magnitude or component direction. Use this quantity for shell and beam elements only. Rotation measures are not relevant for solid elements.
Specify information for the following items that appear on the
Measure Definition dialog box after you select
Rotation as the quantity:
• Component—Select one of the following:
◦ Magnitude
◦ X
◦ Y
◦ Z
For the options
X,
Y, or
Z, select a
coordinate system relative to which you define the measure. The default coordinate system is the WCS. You can use the arrow button to select a UCS.
• Spatial Evaluation—Select a spatial evaluation method for your quantity from this option menu.
• Time/Frequency Eval—Activate the optional
Dynamic Evaluation menu, which you use to select a time or frequency evaluation method.
