We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Best to keep the drill rotating about a fixed axis and feed the workpiece toward the drill. That nicely separates the two motions. You can use a Translational Joint or a combination of displacements to move the workpiece.

Rotational Velocity is a load that applies an acceleration that has a radius squared field about an axis, it does not rotate bodies.

I don't have much experience with LS-Dyna so I can't give you more specific advice on that.
