How set a object in coordinate axis for do a rotation?

Post by Daniel_25 »

Hi:

I'm trying to simulate a rotation now to test, because then I'll need it for other simulations. Then, I'm able to rotate it if I use offset in nonlinearElasticity in bounday condition, but I would like it to be for a force, a torque. So, when searching I found that you can not add torque but it can be indirectly generated by putting the forces properly on the sides. But in doing it I can not get it to work, it starts turning well but suddenly it goes to the other side or moves to any place instead of turning. So, I think if I set it on a coordinate axis it would be better and it would not move from there. How is it done?

Thanks for advanced
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

What is to be rotated? Is your rotation to be be for rigid bodies? If so there is the RigidMeshMapper.
