Shell Rotation

Shell Rotation

Shell Rotation

(OP)
Hello,

I am attempting to rotate a cylindrical shell. One face is fixed and I am trying to apply rotation to the opposite face. I first tried this by applying a BC around the axial axis to the desired face. I also tried applying a moment to this same face. This also did not work. This step in my program does not even begin to converge.

I then tried using a cyl coord system and tried it both ways again with no success.

The material is hyperelastic. My element is S4R (not sure what to use here as small strain elements can't be used with Hyperelastic mat'l). My part is a 3D, deformable, revolved shell. I don't know what the problem is...any help is appreciated!
