How to Enforce Rigid Body Movement

Hello

I would like to know if it is possible to impose a rigid body movement on Catia V5. I need to rotate a part a few degrees around an axis that I have defined myself.

Thank you for your help.

Hello

Is it for an animation?

In assembly or in the room?

What do you call rigid body?

In assembly, the parts can be moved:

The compass

an angle constraint

A scene

A body of parts is more delicate:

The simplest is a copy with a link and then a rotation transformation.

A copy as result moved by the compass

A copy as result  + angular stress

 

 

Thank you for your answers.

This is not for an animation, it would be to impose a rotation of an entire part as a constraint in order to evaluate the stresses on other parts.

What I call rigid body motion is that I want the whole piece to rotate at a certain angle around an axis. This would be to rotate as part of a finite element analysis in the General Structure Analysis menu.
