How to realize the rotation of the model during revolution

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all

I would like to simulate the magnetic field distribution of a cylindrical magnet revolving while rotating, just like the earth revolves around the sun. One difference is that the symmetry axis of the cylinder always points to the center of revolution.

I uploaded a screenshot of model. The center of the sphere is the center of revolution. revolution takes place in the equatorial plane of the sphere, and the axis of rotation is along the radius of the sphere.

I have tried using a moving grid to make the cylinder revolve and rotate around the center separately. They all work well.

But I do not know how to set the rotation of a cylinder when it revolves. I tried many times but failed.

Thanks in advance! Heng
