I want to model torsion of a homogeneous hollow cylinder in ANSYS. I changed to cylindric coordinate system also. But each time I run the program the result is that of bending. I have attached the mac file and output file for reference. Please advise.

I am analysing a beam made of composite material in ANSYS. loding is axial and is applied on the end face. Other end is fixed. I want the deformed face to be parallel to undformed face. no out of plane warping or deformation. How to do it ? I know applying foce and displacement constraints simultaneously is not possible(and is not wise) but is there a way ?
I want to understand cosserat beam theory. Please suggest the some reading material related to it.
TIA
I have been working in composites for sometime now. In the literature I have found that the words "Representative Volume Element" (RVE) and "Unit Cell" (UC) are used frequently. Some authors treat them differently and some treat them same. I am little bit confused can anyone PLEASE clarify the situation or suggest some good papers to read.
Thanks In Advance.
