I have to do a wear analysis and a modal analysis on the liners of a Mill. This is the model I've created for the mill. I'm currently doing an analysis free of any forces, with first case of all liners intact, and second case will be with a liner deformed. 
How do I make sure that I get the deformation solution on the liners only and not the whole cylinder. 
Also, when I apply a rotational velocity, the whole mill geometry undergoes a translation motion and doesn't rotate at its place. How do I fix these issues?

 

 

I've tried applying different constraints, but not getting the desired results.
Do I need to make any changes in the geometry itself?

Hi,

Try defining a revolute joint and then deine roatation or define rotation via remote displacment. Rotational velocity accounts for the structural effects of a part spinning at a constant rate.
