(Classic) Build → Joints → Rotational Motion Tool

Rotates the first part that the joint connects about the z-axis of a second part. The right-hand rule determines the sign of the motion. The z-axis of the first part must be aligned with the z-axis of the second part at all times. The angle is zero when the x-axis of the first part is also aligned with the x-axis of the second part.

For the option:	Do the following:
Rot. Speed	Specify the speed of the motion in displacement units per second. By default, creates a rotational motion with a speed of 30 degrees per second. To enter a function expression or User-written subroutine, right-click the Rot. Speed text box, point to Parameterize, and then select Expression Builder to display the Adams View Function Builder.
