Good morning everybody,

I am totally new here but I believe you can help me. I have a model of a bead rotating on a support in 2D.
It is a bead half embedded in a support and I apply a torque upon it (model of magnetic twisting cytometry).
Then I need to measure the rotation made by the bead. I tried to use Remote points. I select the edge of the bead in the Remote but it always gives me 0 in each rotation angle.
The commands I used were :
My-node =_npilot in the commands of remote point.
And my_rotx = ROTX (My-node)
Same for each axis.

I would be totally grateful if you could help me finding why. I can provide a sketch if needed...

Thank uou very much,

Cedric
