Create Tensioner - Material

Machinery Create Pulley
 
For the option
Do the following
Tensioner
Define Mass By
User Input
If you do not want Adams View to calculate mass and inertia using a part's geometry, material type, or density, you can enter your own mass and moments of inertia.
Geometry and Density
You can change the material type used to calculate mass and inertia or simply specify the density of the part.
Geometry and Material Type
The geometry defines the volume and the material type defines the density.
If you select User Input, the following options will be displayed:
The parts' locations and orientations are shown in tensioner geometry.
Mass
Enter the mass of the tensioner part.
Ixx/Iyy/Izz
Enter the values that define the principal mass-inertia components of the pulley part.
Ixy/Izx/Iyz
Enter the values that define the deviational (cross-product) mass-inertia components of the pulley part.
Off-Diagonal Terms
Enter the x, y, and z values of the location offset. You can offset the center of mass and inertia markers of the tensioner part a specified distance from the tensioner part's location.
If you select Geometry and Density, the following options will be displayed:
Density
Enter the density value.
If you select Geometry and Material Type, the following options will be displayed:
Material Type
Enter the material type to be used inertia calculation.
Density
Density value displayed.
Young’s Modulus
Young’s Modulus value displayed.
Poisson’s Ratio
Poisson’s Ratio value displayed.
Deviation Pulley
If you select User Input, the following options will be displayed:
The parts' locations and orientations are shown in tensioner geometry.
Mass
Enter the mass of the tensioner part.
Ixx/Iyy/Izz
Enter the values that define the principal mass-inertia components of the pulley part.
Ixy/Izx/Iyz
Enter the values that define the deviational (cross-product) mass-inertia components of the pulley part.
Off-Diagonal Terms
Enter the x, y, and z values of the location offset. You can offset the center of mass and inertia markers of the tensioner part a specified distance from the tensioner part's location.
If you select Geometry and Density, the following options will be displayed:
Density
Enter the density value.
If you select Geometry and Material Type, the following options will be displayed:
Material Type
Enter the material type to be used inertia calculation.
