Root radial force
In this video, we show you how to find the mass and center of mass of the blade in ANSYS. These values are used for the hand calculation of root radial force.

Summary of steps in the above video:
- Click on the solution information report.
- Press Control-F to open the search field and search for total mass.
- You can also find the center of mass right below it.
We can now compare the numerical results of root radial force with our hand-calculations.
| Hand-Calculations | ANSYS | % difference |
|---|---|---|
| 1576.3 kN | 1578.1 k N | 0.1 |

This module is from our free online simulations course at edX.org (sign up here). The edX interface provides a better user experience and the content has been updated since it was first recorded, so we recommend that you go through the module there rather than here. Also, you will be able to see answers to the questions embedded in the module there. |
