motions = motion_frame.GetMotions()
motion_1 = motions.New()
motion_1.SetType('Rotation')
rotation = motion_1.GetTypeObject()

Methods:

Name Description
GetAngularAcceleration([unit]) Get the value of "Angular Acceleration".
GetInitialAngularVelocity([unit]) Get the value of "Initial Angular Velocity".
SetAngularAcceleration(values[, unit]) Set the values of "Angular Acceleration".
SetInitialAngularVelocity(values[, unit]) Set the values of "Initial Angular Velocity".

GetAngularAcceleration(unit: str | None = None)

Get the value of “Angular Acceleration”.

  • Parameters: unit – The unit for the returned values. If no unit is provided, the returned values will be in “rad/s2”.

GetInitialAngularVelocity(unit: str | None = None)

Get the value of “Initial Angular Velocity”.

  • Parameters: unit – The unit for the returned values. If no unit is provided, the returned values will be in “rad/s”.

SetAngularAcceleration(values: Sequence[str | float], unit: str | None = None)

Set the values of “Angular Acceleration”.

  • Parameters:
    • values – The values to set. The values can be heterogeneous, the element of values can be an expression with input variables or a float. Must have exactly 3 elements.
    • unit – The unit for values. If no unit is provided, values is assumed to be in “rad/s2”.
  • Raises: RockyApiError – If values doesn’t have exactly 3 elements.

SetInitialAngularVelocity(values: Sequence[str | float], unit: str | None = None)

Set the values of “Initial Angular Velocity”.

  • Parameters:
    • values – The values to set. The values can be heterogeneous, the element of values can be an expression with input variables or a float. Must have exactly 3 elements.
    • unit – The unit for values. If no unit is provided, values is assumed to be in “rad/s”.
