Hello there, I am trying to perform a simulation using the gpu module where I want to import a cylindrical screw (picture attached) into a bed on granular media and then have the screw spin on top of the bed and then obtain the forces/torques on the screw.
I am not sure about what would be the best way to import the screw in a way that it's set on the bed at the start of the simulation. Also, I am not sure how I can impose a type of motion that would force the screw to spin on top of that bed since I am importing it as an .obj file. Finally, due to the shape of the screw, I assume that when the screw moves it will tend to turn to the left/right. Is there a way to restrict the motion of the screw to be just straight while spinning? I was wondering if there are any demos regarding this or if someone has done something similar before. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you so much in advance, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ProjectChrono" group.
