So I just connected a Static Structural module and was able to add a rotational velocity using that...why couldn't I do it within modal?

Hi, We have an axial fan in the lab that apparently vibrates badly ("wobbles") at certain frequencies. To find the resonance and the bad frequencies, I decided to do an ANSYS modal analysis. I am still pretty new to it, and have a few questions. 1) Regardless of how many modes I pick...

Alright, so I did that. stress = force/area = 15000/(200x150x10^-3) = 500 tau = yG 500 = y*800000 y = 6.25 x 10^-4.. Which is still wrong...

Will the area be 150 x 10? So I calculated the stress = (15000)/(1500 x 10^-3) = 10000 Then did 15000/800000 for y. It is wrong.

Homework Statement [See Attachment] Given: Thickness, load, G Find:γ and horizontal displacement. Homework Equations τ=γG Angle change should be the shear strain. The Attempt at a Solution I tried plugging 800 into tau and the given value of G to get γ, but that isn't...
