Specifies the phase angle of the force in degrees.

Harmonic loading can start with its maximum load at time equal to zero, or the harmonic load can start with its maximum at any time between zero and 2*p/w seconds. The phase angle method specifies this time shift in the dynamic load waveform. The phase angle is calculated from the time shift using the equation:

f (in degrees) = (180/p)*f (in radians)

The phase angle is usually defined as either zero or 90. Use the phase specification when defining eccentric loads on rotating equipment.

A value for Phase is required. If the phase angle is zero, you must enter 0.
