Hi,
Could anyone tell me what dof 1-6 correspond to when a cylindrical coordinate system is defined. The cylindrical coordinate has labels of r, t and z.
Thanks,
Ahmed
Hi Ahmed
For Cylindrical Coordinates
1 - Translation in the radial direction
2 - Translation in thetha direction
3 - Translation in the z-direction
4 - Rotation in the radial direction
5 - Rotation in thetha direction
6 - Rotation in the z-direction
Hi Pranav,
Thank you for the clarification. So for example if I consider the same cylinder as you have shown in the figure and I want to enforce a displacement (as in rotate the cylinder) about z axis of 5 units should I define it in dof2 or dof3?
