A centrifugal load results due to the rigid body rotation of the model and is applied on the entire model. The functions described in this section provide read access to the data and structure of the Creo Simulate centrifugal loads.

Functions Introduced:

The function ProMechcentrifugaldataAlloc() allocates memory for the centrifugal load data.

The function ProMechcentrifugaldataVelocityGet() returns the magnitude and direction of the angular velocity of the centrifugal load.

The function ProMechcentrifugaldataVelocitySet() sets the value of the angular velocity of the centrifugal load.

The function ProMechcentrifugaldataAccelerationGet() returns the acceleration vector for the centrifugal load. The acceleration vector is the rate of change of the angular velocity vector, and represents a change in magnitude or direction of the angular velocity.

The function ProMechcentrifugaldataAccelerationSet() sets the acceleration vector for the centrifugal load.

The function ProMechcentrifugaldataFree() releases the memory assigned to the centrifugal load data.
