Displacement rotation not applied

[hdbondt]

Using the displacement constraint I try to apply a torque on a femmesh but for some reason it is not included in the calculation.
I tried different rotation axis/ angels and played with the free/fixed setting but nothing changed.
Also when I type a rotation in the task view of the displacement both free and fixed are set to false.
If I use the property view I can set these parameters.

In FreeCAD ATM you can not apply constraints to femmeshes. You have to apply them on the Geometry. FreeCAD will then apply them to the femmesh at Solver input file writing.

I apply the rotation on the geometry, it is visualised in the editor.


But I get an error:
Invalid Signal signature: textchanged()
Base.FreeCADError: PyArg_ParseTuple failed. Invalid arguments used with setNodeByScalars



Thank you for the solutions, but they don't really help me.
I said torque, but my semantics are wrong, I want to do a displacement not apply a force

When I open your model and run it I get the following... is this what you want/expect?:

Are these settings for the Rotation in x, y, z correct/intended?

Yes, that's the same result as me.
But, that is not the result I wanted.
I'm trying to rotate the selected face in the displacement constraint.
Now it is only displaced by translation.

Are these settings for the Rotation in x, y, z correct/intended?

Well, for now, any setting that would have a rotation in the resulting analysis is ok.
These settings is me trying different combinations of values.

I don't want to double post, but have you had a chance to look at it ?

Nop not really.
I just wanted to help to understand the question correctly.

I think the main point regarding your question is that the dialog box states "Rotations are only valid for Beam and Shell elements". So, I think it does not work for "real" 3d problems.

If you need a rotational MPC, you will need some special approach.

* First joice is a bond to a rigid body. But this is at the moment not available, so we need a feature request in this regard.
* Second choice is you needs to imitate rigid body by a dummy.

This dummy need a significant higher young modulus and a cylindrical face.
A translational displacement needs to be defined first, which is transformed to a cylindrical coordinate system in a pending step.
So X-axis will be translated to radial displacement,
Y-axis will be translated to tangential displacement and Z-axis remains as cylinder's axis.

This will lead to this result:

Hi bernd,

if this https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 50#p178208
will be released, is it possible to buildup a shell from a circle and bond it onto this cube's topface for constraining directly with a rotational FemDisplacement?
