Rotation Ansys

Rotation Ansys

(OP)
Hi everyone,
Is it possible to apply a rotation to a whole body on Ansys Mechanical APDL ?
If yes, how ?
Thank you for your answers

Sincerely
Thibault

RE: Rotation Ansys

What kind of rotation do you mean?
Do you want to rotate the FE model or do you want to apply rotation as an external boundary condition.
If you want BC.
You could probably try calculating new node coordinates and then apply them as new BC, (but it depends on the element type (impossible for beam element but you can rotate them just by d command.
For model rotation change coordinate system to cylindrical and use EGEN command

RE: Rotation Ansys

(OP)
Thank you for your answer.
What I actually want is to apply the rotation of the body as a BC. I am really not familiar with Ansys Mechanical. I will try to look more into the d command and how to apply my rotation.
Thank you again.
