Getting Twist Angle on Shaft Under Torsion

Hi

Based on the geometry (D=3.84, and length=18)

, the material (Poison=0.3 and Young Modulus = 1,060,000)

and load (torque = 1,000) the value of angle is estimated as:

Angle  is about 0.002rad

Is this the estimated value you are getting?

Regards

Yes. Unfortunately in my model it did not generate any twist angle. It says 0 for it. Do you know what might have happened?

Hi

if you need the angle of shaft twist , what you could do is

- in HyperView create a local cylindrical coordinate system that is centered in the face that you are applying torque, with the z-axis aligned to the shaft axis.

- So that x -> radial disp (r) and y-> angular disp (theta)

- when contouring, you select the displacement result, y-component. Also select the user defined coordinate system and contour.

- That will contour the angular displacement of the nodes relative to the local cylindrical coordinate system

- you can query the external diameter nodes and check the rotation of this nodes, relative to the origin of local coordinate system, that is the center of rotation you selected.

I hope that is helpful
