How would you simulate a rotation of a part of at least 100K nodes in a Dynamic/Implicit analysis?

Hi everybody.

I'm trying to simulate a rotation (wheel/railway) of a 162K nodes part (actually 3 parts tied together for mesh refining purposes) in a Dynamic/Implicit analysis.
The problem is that with defining several distributing couplings with respect to a reference point the simulation gets so slow that remains at the running of the first increment of the first step.

At the best of your knowledge, how would you simulate such condition?
I've been struggling for so many days in order to find a solution, so i'd really appreciate your advice.

Warm regards,

Omar
