Rotational Symmetry Boundary Conditions

highpressuretube · 2016-07-06 09:00:44

Hi all,

I try to model a square profile rotating within another square with simple contact so far. However I just don't get how to set up the model with appropriate BCs. (squarerotation.jpg)

Any advice? What I did so far to apply the rotation:
Set up additional point at coordinate base named: TORQUE, apply DRZ 0,1 to point, link point to inner mesh with LIAISON_SOLIDE.

Problems:
1) No symmetry between the edges marked in yellow, thus wrong. (compare 2nd picture)
2) Missing deformation of inner square because of LIAISON_SOLIDE, thus not really useful.

Ideas:
1) Use LIAISON_GROUP to set up cyclic symmetry
2) LIAISON_SOLIDE ONLY to the edges with cyclic symmetry

Result:
1) Following error:

Meshes should be compatible since it es 11 nodes on each edge distributed via wire_dicretization and local length, shouldn't it?
2) did not get so far because of 1)

Any ideas, help suggestions are appreciated.
