Adding tool orientation during the machining process in Abaqus 1

[EldhoP]

I want to continuously change the rigid tool orientation during the machining process. what strategy can be used to accommodate tool orientation? Displacement boundary (displacement/rotation) condition is applied at one end of the tool for loading.

 

[FEA way]

You can achieve this using more complex boundary condition definition for the reference point of the tool. Use all 6 DOFs to manipulate the tool. Amplitudes will also be needed to control the movement in time.

I am trying to change the rigid body orientation = the displacement is applied to the rigid body.

You already accommodated the orientation.
