Hi,
I am getting an error messgae when trying to apply a rotational displacement around a coordinate system on a simple 2 part hinge assembly.
I have attached a word document with multiple screen shots of how i have got to the error message.
The hinge assembly is constraimned by a coordinate system on the barrel of the hinge and an angle offset (10 degrees) on the 2 planes through the parts.
In simulate the assembly is closed, an interface connection definition applied to the mating faces. I want to make the moving part rotate around the fixed part by adding a displacement of 3 degrees to see the impact on the asembly. Hwoever when trying to add this ratational displacement i get the error message in the attached document.
Please could someone offer assistance? What am i doing wrong and is what im trying to do even possible?
thanks
Hi MCR28007
A solid actually has no rotational degrees of freedom. You can not prescribe a rotation. Only translations
What yo u need to do is add a datumpoint, slightly removed from the citrcular endface and connect that to the endface with a rigid connection.
Then prescribe the rotation.
Look:
Kind regards
