Hi!
I'm a newbie in FEA world, using Marc preference for Patran.
I've got two questions about FEA:
The first one is, how can I specificate a moment (rotational force) in Patran? I've tried with the LBC 'Force', but no action seems to ocurre when the analysis is launched.
The second question is about MPCs. I'd like to rotate a wheel around a central node. I've fixed all the translations, and X & Y rotations in this node, and i want the nodes in the periphery move like a rigid body when a moment in Zaxis is comunicated at this central node. How can I do this?
I would thank some help!
Cheers
