A wall didn't rotate by setting its angularvelocity

Asked by Zhipeng Huang

Hello:)
I found an example code of triaxial test. It uses 'aabbwalls’ and 'triaxialstresscontroller' to apply confining pressure.After applying confining pressure, I want to add an angular velocity of 0.1m/s of the top wall to simulate the situation of rotation shear.But the wall didn't rotate.here is the code.Can anyone help me ,thank you!
