    Combined axial and torsion load on non-uniform cross section cylinder

    It was for a hollow drill and I want to know the stress at the drill tip. The drill will be rotating at certain RPM and it will have a torque and axial force when drill through a flexible material. I first tried to fixed the clamping end and apply the axial force and torque at the tip, but...

    Combined axial and torsion load on non-uniform cross section cylinder

    Can someone teach me how to apply boundary condition to a hollow cylinder where both axial and torsion load is present? The cylinder is not uniform in cross section so beam element won't work. I know that for axial load (assume z direction is the centerline) on a cylinder, I need to have...

    Torsion load on hollow shaft

    I just want to add a torque (or z-moment)to a hollow shaft that is not uniform in cross section (so I can't use beam element). So what do I do after creating a cylindrical coordinate? I am using the 3D free mesh, I fully constrained one end and applied a z-moment at the centerpoint of the...

    Torsion load on hollow shaft

    I am new to I-DEAS FEA. Can someone teach me how to add a torsion load constraint onto the tip of a hollow shaft?
