Rotation and unit

[transall]

Hello,

I am doing a FEA on a retention system made of steel blade. I have create a shell model and I want to twist the blade along its axis. The rotation value is 6°. Consequently I have applied at one end a 0 DOF constraint (clamp) and at the other end a 6° rotation displacement. I have defined the angle unit to degree.
But it seems by inputing 6° in the rotation value field, that the rotation angle is to big (after solving the nonlinear analysis) . Do you think Ansys work in radian for rotation value displacement even if the angle parameter unit has beeen defined to degree?
Moreover when we list the rotation value, are these values in radian (it's what i think but i would like an agreement from other persons)?

Thank you for your help,

Regards,

Mickaël

Hi,
the *AFUN,DEG command may have restrictions of appliability for some other commands, i.e. some commands may work in radians regardless of the *AFUN setting. Check on the help... Afaik, the D command wants the rotations be input in RADIANS.
