I am doing a model of a misaligned gear coupling. On one hand, I have the "male" where I apply the torque and in the other hand I have the "female", which is misaligned and to whom I want to apply an angular velocity .
My bodies are associated to a cylindrical reference system.
I would like to know, how the boundary conditions of the torque and angular velocity are applied to the bodies when they are misaligned.
I apply different BCs. One for the "male" and onther one for the "female".
However, if a misalign the female in the X axis and I apply the torque in Z axis, is the torque really applied in the Z axis only or will it be turned too? The cylindrical system is global or it moves with the body?
