In the documentation, a Torque Boundary Condition is described, but I cannot find anywhere where I can create one in the Simulation Designer? [SSSG]

Hi @anon94208749 , you can apply a torque with a remote force boundary condition. This is found under Boundary Conditions > Loads. [image]

I saw that on your allen key project; but I do not understand where the “remote point” comes from? You hav eit specified as 0.2m X and 0.156m in Z and I cannot relate those numbers to anything?

If you would like to visualize the location of a point you can use a geometry primitive point. In the tree under Domain > Geometry Primitives select New > Point. Then enter the coordinates of the point to be visualized. In this case X: 0.2, Y: 0, Z: 0.156. [image] This is the location where the r…

I suggest you start with a static simulation. Once you get good results from that I highly recommend switching to a second order mesh. Finally, if you still require it, you can move on to the more complex dynamic simulation. [!!!THIS LINK IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE!!!] is an example of how to setup a s…

Thank you Ben. That’s very interesting. I did not know that you could apply a time step to a static analysis (Which raises another whole bunch of questions, but I’ll hold my water and see if I can’t find some of the answers in the docs first :slight_smile: ) One of the things I was hoping to get by…

BTW: Do you know if that animated gif of the cube from the documentation was produced using a standard facility of SimScale (if so, I can’t find it) or by taking snapshots at each time step and then assembling them together using other software? Cheers, M

Here is an animation of the simulation. [TA01] This was done in the offline post processor Paraview. There are explanations of how to do this on this forum. If you get stuck let me know. [image] Buk: (Also. do you happen to know if the 3000 hrs allowance on a community account is a lifetime h…

That’s (almost*) perfect! :slight_smile: I did have one attempt at installing Paraview, but it did not go well; I forget why. I’ll have another go over the weekend. *Almost because (it appears that?) the axle section and/or the TA are twisting in the Z-dimension. I assume that once I understand e…

I use this website to convert avis to animated gifs.

Here is a link to a tutorial related to animations.
