Frictionless Axis of rotation
Frictionless Axis of rotation
(OP)
I want to analyse the force required to compress a spring, the lever has a 'frictionless' pin at the bottom, to rotate around and the spring at the top.
When I analyse the lever bends around the axis(assumes 100% friction) - how can I get it to rotate around the pin freely?
thanks

RE: Frictionless Axis of rotation
Next, create a constraint, but change the coordinate system reference to the newly created cylindrical csys. You should now have new constraint options r, theta, and z. My guess is that you would pin r and z and free theta.
Good luck,
Steve
