Hello all,
I have created a solid shaft inside a solid shell and fixed the shell as a BC in the first step.
In the second step, I have applied load on the surface of the solid shaft which generates stress.
In the third step, I want to rotate the shaft with a reference point coupled to the surface of the solid shaft as a constraint.
How can i create a coordinate system and reference point which updates with the position of solid shaft after it is subjected to stress in the second step ? As there is a small clearance between the pin and shell, the pin‘s rotation centre would surely move when subjected to loads.
How can i achieve rotation on such an axis which varies its position after the shaft is subjected to loads ?
- Rectangular: The X-, Y-, and Z-axes are aligned with the 1-, 2-, and 3-global axes, respectively.
- Cylindrical: The R-, -, and Z-axes are aligned with the 1-, 2-, and 3-global axes, respectively.
- Spherical: The R-, -, and -axes are aligned with the 1-, 2-, and 3-global axes, respectively.
From the prompt area, click Create Datum to accept the new orientation of the temporary datum coordinate system or select (or enter the coordinates of) a point that will lie on the X–Y or R– plane. Abaqus/CAE creates the datum coordinate system. You cannot move or rotate a datum coordinate system.
