Rigid connector: applying moment in (degree/s)?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I am working on modeling a cylinder in 3D using a time dependant solver and applying a torsinal load on the geometry. The way I have it set up is at one end of the cylinder I have a fixed constraint boundary condition and am twisting it at the other end. I am using a rigid connector -> applied moment and everything seems to be working well using N*m values. However, the ASTM standard that I am working with is calling for a 5 deg/min load and I have no idea how to make this work.

1. Can I input a 5 deg/min load in my model using a rigid connector (or any other physics module)?

2. I would like to graph Torque (N*m) v.s. Rotation (deg) at a point on my geometry, can this be done?

So far I've managed to make this model work (time dependent) with an applied moment load of 5*t [N*m].

Any help would be greatly appreciate!

Thanks,
Chris
