Corus, I'm glad you thought of this. This thing clicked to me a few days back. So, I started applying kinematic coupling constraint. Now, since the center point is reference point and all the edge nodes are connected with rigid links to the reference point, then applying rotation to center point...
If I see it laterally, it can be visualized as a frustum with zero displacement at clamped end and uniformly increasing radius till the other end at which circuferential displacement is applied. I am not able to understand why the radius is getting changed in spite of arresting the displacement...
Hello,
I have modeled a 3D hollow circular cylinder and wish to simulate Static General step for torsional displacement of small shear strains. The cylinder is clamped on one side and I'm assigning value of u_r3 (along axis) to the reference point (center of the edge circle) on other end (using...
