Application of a torque as a boundary condition

Post by Captain Slow »

Hello,

As the subject indicates, I would like to be able to apply a torque to a boundary of a body, but can't work out a way of doing such a thing with elmer.

Is it possible?

Thanks,
John

Hi

No such thing exists directly. However, you could define Forces in x, y and z direction such that M=\int F \rot r dV is what you need. Not that handy, I must admit.

I want to ask this question again, since the original post and the last answer are relatively old.
Is it in the meantime possible to apply a (mechanical) torque on a boundary?
Thanks in advance,
HoWil
