Connection Information of Fly Wheel
Fly Wheel & Shaft Main After are connected by Fixed Joint.
Initial Velocity
In Pre-Global Data, the direction of rotation (CW / CCW) is decided. If the user selects the direction of rotation such as CW, the initial velocity is also applied to Fly Wheel as CW direction. The user can confirm the initial velocity in the properties of Fly Wheel body. To check the initial velocity, click a right mouse button on Data Base of Fly Wheel body. And then enter the properties of Fly Wheel body. The properties page is as follow.
