Hiya,

I would like to carry out a simulation of some rotating wheels and was wondering how i would go about that. I have tried creating a rotational region around the two wheels and running a transient simulation with frame motion but am unsure if the results are correct. My main concern is what i should do if there are parts (such as the blue highlighted bit) that dont rotate inside the wheel? 

Many thanks,

Hello,

I think the inner wheel, which you highlighted in blue, remains bonded to the outer wheel from the inside. Define a 'Body to Ground' Revolute Joint and define Rotation/ Rotational Velocity using the Joint Load.

Hiya,

Thanks for your reply, how would i do this? Im using ansys discovery, fluent meshing and solver.

Thanks

Let me ask the team to help you with this. I have not used Discovery, and my suggestions were from Ansys Mechanical point of view.

 

Thanks and Regards,
