Embedded in its center (0,0,0). What plugin?

[TP]

Good morning,

In granoo I have made a cylinder that rotates at a speed (impose rotation). In addition, I have applied a force on the lower part (apply force). My question is the following: what plugin can I apply (in the .INP file) so that the cylinder is embedded in its center (0,0,0) and that the forces that I have applied do not allow the cylinder to move, in the other words, that the cylinder is fixed in its center and rotating while apply force.

Sorry, I do not understand what you want to do... Damien.

Sorry Damian, I will be more explicit

in the cylinder created and rotating in the axis (0,0,0) I apply a force in the lower part but when applying the force the cylinder moves, I suppose it is because it is not embedded in the axis (0,0,0). What I would like is to prevent it from moving while I apply the force. What plugin could help me?

I hope I have been clearer

Thanks in advance for your response

Hello, i am sorry, it is not clear.

What do you mean by an axis of (0,0,0) ? An axis can't be null !

Really, are you sure ? Do you use the 'ApplyForceAt()' C++ method ?

I am not sure of what you want to do but you can use both :
- <PlugIn Id="_ImposeDisplacement" Clamp="Yes"/> -> it should fix the displacement
- <PlugIn Id="_ImposeOrientation" Clamp="Yes"/> -> it should fix the rotation

I refer that the cilinder can be fixed in the point (0,0,0) or in whatever coordinates (1,2,3) ..(2,1,3) etc...but the objective is the embedded in a coordinate without that some force that I can apply or something can affect.

The cylinder have to be fixed but free in rotation

Hello, this is the case. If you clamp the cylinder with the ApplyDisplacement PlugIn, the cylinder is free to rotate.
