I'm trying to model the application of torque to twist a shaft. I've created a reference point and applied a kinematic constraint at one end. I've also applied a moment load in the UR1 direction. At the other end, I've applied an ENCASTRE boundary condition. After running the simulation, I'm getting stress results but no visualization of shaft twisting. Anyone willing to shed some light over how to go about this?
