We are trying to do Structural simulation of Roller placed on a sheet using Structural mechanics module,
a. Problem definition: Roller or Cylinder which is placed on the sheet and giving roller rotation tends to pull the sheet in linear direction.
b. Initially a small static load is given on the roller for establishing the contact.
c. Once the contact is made between the roller and plate, giving a rotation to the roller, thus it tends to pull the sheet in linear direction.
d. After discussing with support, Rigid Connector B.C is used for rotation, but still, not serving the purpose.
e. Assume the model is created in 2-D space, applied frictonal coefficient and other material properties as well.
May I know what type of boundary condition to be used for capturing the above physcis and if you take the glance of the model attached, that would be great.
Attached Model and picture for better understanding. Thanks.
Have a great day ahead!!
