Rotation of a 3d rigid body through its free end -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

May 20, 2008, 10:56	Rotation of a 3d rigid body through its free end	#1
M-Ray Guest Posts: n/a	Hi, I'ld like to rotate a rigid body through an axis that doesn't pass through its centre of gravity such as a long flap (my case is 3d) rotating about one of its free ends. The DEFINE_CG_MOTION can only be used to specify translational and angular velocities for the body's centre of gravity. It is true, right ? But if I use DEFINE_GRID_MOTION, this time the body is needed to be non-rigid. Could anybody please help me ? I'm quite confused !!!
