Hi Rob ! I finally implemented the correct motion. The solution was to turn on the Non-linear option. Thanks a lot for your timely help. Cheers.

I believe angular displacement would work if there is a way I can define a local coordinate system which has a Y-axis(flapping axis) in line with the global Y-axis. And each time step the wing flaps, this local coordinate system rotates as well, and I can define the rotation of the wing about...

Yes Rob, I intend to define rotational velocities because they are cummutative, unlike rotational angles. May be I am not following the coventional correctly , I am not sure. Thanks

Dear Rob, Thanks for your previous input. Based on your model I have made a solid model and was successfully able to implement the single flapping motion using amplitude input from a tabular data. However I am facing a little bit of problem in getting the rotation about the wing axis. Since...

Great ! Thank you very much for your help. I will implement it as per your input file. Thanks a lot again. Kind Regards,

Dear Rob, I tried using reference point approach. But the wing model does not move at all. I am not sure where I am going wrong. I hope I dont sound clingy if I request you help me implement just one wing with one sinusoidal motion. It is only my first week in Abaqus, and I have not...

Thanks for the information. I will try your suggestion. Hope it works. And yes I am planning to FSI. Cheers

Hello All, I want to implement a flapping wing motion in Abaqus. The wing flaps about a fixed point in the global axis and rotates about its own axis. I also have simple sinusoidal functions to describe the motions. Kindly assist me to implement this in Abaqus. Please have a look at a sample...
