March 28, 2014, 11:00	simulate rotation of object due to forces	#10
sloti New Member Join Date: Jul 2012 Posts: 4 Rep Power: 13	Hi everyone, I was wondering if and/or how it would be possible to simulate the rotation of a solid around a given point with the solidMechanics library. Imagine for example, you want to simulate a pair of balances. So you have a beam pivoted at some point and two forces acting at the tips, such that the beam can rotate but not translate in order to reach some equilibrium state. Another application with respect to fluid structure interaction is some wind wheel that starts rotating around a given axis due to fluid flow around it. Thank you for any ideas! Regards, Anna
