    Thank you I understand. I am changing the surface and running it at once. Thank you for your help. I will run the simulation and will let you know about results.

    So the way the clutch works is that a center shaft with a diameter greater the spring inner diameter is manufactured and the spring is opened to insert this shaft in. So due to the interference there is a contact pressure from the coil of the spring to the shaft. Now when the shaft starts to...

    Yes I have given Two BC where 1st one is an Encastre at the bottom leg and the second is a rotation at the center of the shaft. I created a RP at the center of the shaft and have constrained the point to the entire shaft using the coupling constraint. I have a surface to surface interaction...

    The green range states the pressure. But this color exists from the starting step of the simulation. The expected results should be at the initial step it should be blue and as we the step increases and the loads are achieved the color should turn to red. But the values in the copen doesn't make...

    Hello Everyone I have been viewing this forum for a while now and this is my first post and I hope someone could help me with this. I am simulating a wrap spring clutch/brake mechanism in which a shaft is placed inside a torsion spring with an interference fit between the spring's Inner...
