Cylinder Under Rotational Force

Overview

The aim of this test case is to validate the following functions:

centrifugal force

The simulation results of SimScale were compared to the numerical results presented in [HPLA100]. The mesh used in (A) and (C) was created with the automatic-tetrahedralization-tool on the SimScale platform. The mesh used in (B) und (D) was created locally.

Geometry

	A	B	C	D
x [m]	0.0195	0.0205	0.0205	0.0195
y [m]	0	0	0	0
z [m]	0.01	0.01	0	0

To obtain the solid body the face ABCD is rotated 45° around the z-axis. Because of the symmetry of the cylinder only one quarter was modelled.
