Objectives

  • Introducing sign convention for rotary quantities

  • Introducing aliasing problems

  • Using Discontinuity printout

For this example, you will use the system shown below. Note that it consists of two very nearly identical systems.

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.
