<Rotate Mesh - Axis & Angle>

 

<Mesh>

Select Mesh(es)

Select Mesh Sets that will be rotated.
 

<Element>

Select Element(s)

Select elements that will be rotated.
 

<Node>

Select Node(s)

Select nodes that will be rotated.
 

<Axis & Angle>
 

Revolution Axis

Select a rotational axis

 

Select Revolution Axis

Select a rotational axis (Datum Axis, Datum Plane, Face, Edge).

2 Point Vector

Select a rotational axis by a vector which is defined by two specified points. The coordinates of 2 points may be specified using Snap.
 

Move

This option moves the selected object(s).
 

Uniform Copy

The selected objects remain intact, and they will be copied in an uniform angle for the specified number of times.
 

Non-Uniform Copy

The selected objects remain intact, and they will be copied in user-defined angle. Non-uniform distance between each copied objects can be applied.

 

<Common Features>
 

Angle

Specify an angle of rotation. For the case of Non-Uniform Copy, unequal rotating angles can be entered using comma between them. If the same length is repeated, the symbol '@' can be used. (Ex : 10, 20, 25, 25, 25 or 10, 20, 3@25)
 

Number of Times

Enter the number of times to copy. This option is only active when Uniform Copy is selected.
 

Include Colors

This option assigns the same color to the copied nodes and elements.
 

Include LBCs

This option applies the same load and boundary condition to the copied nodes and elements.
 

Mesh Set

Register Each Mesh Independently

This option registered newly copied objects into new Mesh Sets individually.
 

Merge Nodes

Base Coordinate System

 

GCS

Move the selected objects in the Global Coordinate System.

WCS

Move the selected objects in the Work plane Coordinate System.
 

X-Axis

Rotate the selected objects about the X-axis.
 

Y-Axis

Rotate the selected objects about the Y-axis.
 

Z-Axis

Rotate the selected objects about the Z-axis.
 

Define Location

Define the location of the revolution axis. The coordinate can be specified using Snap
 

Move

This option moves the selected object(s).
 

Uniform Copy

The selected objects remain intact, and they will be copied in an uniform angle for the specified number of times.
 

Non-Uniform Copy

The selected objects remain intact, and they will be copied in user-defined angle. Non-uniform distance between each copied objects can be applied.
