Hello All,
A simple model comprising a cylindrical bar held at one end.
The constraint is defined in a cylindrical csys as it is desired the bar should rotate relative to an applied load.
The rotation should be achieved using an enforced displacement constraint.
The enforced displacement is THETA.
I would have expected the bar to rotate, (rigid body) but instead the elements on the constrained face wind up.
Model attached. (which can't get much simpler) No forces applied. Only one enforced displacement constraint. everything linear.
small mpg attached for those who don't want to run a model.
Can someone point out the obvious mistake.
Thanks
