use move/mesh/gran linear and rotate

Submitted by renekaiser on Mon, 05/23/2011 - 08:38

Hello,

may someone can give me a hint or help me with this.

I am asking for an alternative way to move one stl linear while another one is rotated,
because this does not seem to work:
fix movecad2 all move/mesh/gran linear 0.0 0.0 0.12 cad2 1
fix movecad1 all move/mesh/gran rotate 0.0 0.0 0.10 0.0 1.0 0.0 50. cad1 1

The szene is a rotating cylinder and a particle filled box is moved towards it.

Some ideas?

Thanks
rene

p.s.:
- changing the order of the fixes and use 10..50 as rotations/s it seems to work sometimes :-?

Hi Rene,

what exactly does not work? Please, if you report unexpected/unwanted behaviour more information is needed - without knowing the circumstances it is impossible to say what's going on

Thanks for the answer, I am lucky not to hear "only one move possible".
I will give more details later, when back from work.

I found my mistake, I wrongly construed the "period-parameter" as a frequency and so there was nearly no motion with high values.
