Figure 116: Rotary Inertia
You can build this system yourself but, to save a little time, you can copy a similar system from the Simcenter Amesim demo area (it is located in the Tutorials folder). This is a collection of pre-built Simcenter Amesim systems which are useful to illustrate certain Simcenter Amesim features.
