Problem in defining curve path and implementation in Boundary Condition

[Raval2]

Hello community,

I am trying to simulate a cutting process in which the tool needs to follow a specific route along the part.
The route is defined by a specific mathematical sentence.
Could anyone guide me that how can I define this curved path (cycloid path) in terms of boundary conditions?
I have read about the analytical field but I could not able to implement it. It would be nice if anyone explain it?
I would appreciate any help possible.


Best regards.
