Description
The joint shown in the figure provides a 1000 lb.in/radian resistance to relative rotation. The rotation of the moving part is verified against the theoretical value.

Modeling Hints
Define a pin between the two cylindrical holes with a specified rotational stiffness of K = 1,000 lb.in/radian.
Results
- View the UY displacement with reference to the axis of the cylindrical faces. The UY value shown in the table corresponds to the average value of UY on the cylindrical face of the moving arm.
- UY (theoretical) = (Moment/K)* Radius = (5*2/1000)*0.5= 0.005 in
