applying torque to a crankshaft crankpin
applying torque to a crankshaft crankpin
(OP)
im very new to ABAQUS and having difficulty modelling loads on a crankshaft...
the crankshaft is very simple, off a single cylinder engine, and so only has one crankpin.
im trying to apply a torque to the crankpin, and hold the crankshaft at the end (where the flywheel would be) with an inertia, so there is some resistance to the torque.
i have looked online for relative tutorials but have found very little which can help as most of them use tecnical terms and i am very new to ABAQUS!
any help would be fantastic..

RE: applying torque to a crankshaft crankpin
but really im having trouble making the crankshaft spin around the correct axis. i can use a force on the crankpin, but i dont know how to hold the crankshaft as a bearing would, and apply inertia to the free end...
ive tried to draw a simple diagram of what i mean which is attached.
