We like to obtain the forces at a lug of a pressure vessel.However we do not restrain the vessel at the lug but still need toobtain forces at the lug due to internal design pressure etc. Thefree body function seems to be the way to go but it gives us aforce of zero. Please explain how this function works and if there is other way toobtain the forces? SolidworksSimulation
Hi, does anyone know what can i do to fix stress peak? I think that it is due to the mesh but refining only increase stress value. I attached an image. SolidworksSimulation
hi please Need suggestion factor of safety of structure is too low , how can i improve it ?? Thank you very much SolidworksSimulation
Hi I try to simulate wire spool analysis to find displacement when the cable is wrapped. I attached images to better understand. The force should be big towards the outside of the surface. I have 2 questions.
I am modeling an assembly in Simulation 2009 and I havenoticed that the mesh seems to be incompatible between the solidsand the shells, regardless of whether they're touching or I createcontact sets or I create split lines on the shell. I'm concernedthat the parts are not connected in the model, which they aresupposed to be.SolidworksSimulation
Hey there Is it possible to define a custom moment of interia for a beam? I do have fairly complex profiles and I want to avoid to geometrically model the cross section. In other FEA tools, it is possilbe to define beam elements just by two points and the inertia's with respect to the local element coordinate system. Does Solidworks Simulation offer anything like that?
Hi, 1) I want to know exactly what is the solver that is being used inSWX simulation? 2) the results we are getting in SWX simulation is it local orglobal?SolidworksSimulation
can anyone explain me Whats a rigid body mode and how is itimportant in dynamic analysis?SolidworksSimulation
This error came up on 2015 after adding a shell to model with only beams and forgetting to apply a material to the shell. The error was fixed after updating components and applying a material to the shell. Simulation didn't give the no material applied error. Not a question, just something to help others that get this error. SolidworksSimulation
is there any separate study for analysis of car crashdynamics...or we can do it through drop test... please suggest where i can find the solution for this?SolidworksSimulation
I'm doing an analysis a support component which will hold an antenna that weights about 5 lb. I see an option for remote load and also an option for a remote mass. What's the difference between the two, and in what situations would each be applied? Thanks! SolidworksSimulation
Hello..... In our assembly line, one of the process is "push down" rivet into final shape. Look at image below : I have tried to apply force in the top of rivet, then also use "large displacement" But I cant get the final result correct as real life. Someone please give me advice on this case ?
hi, When I perform an H Adaptive Study Solidworks gives me a convergence graph with on the horizontal axis the loop number and on the vertical, Normalized Value. I have a graph that shows no convergence but both the line for von Mises and Resultant Displacement meet at the value zero for the normalized value. What does this mean? SolidworksSimulation
Hey guys, I am wanting to find out the max force that needed until deflection begins on this part below. Is there a way this can be done using Solidworks simulation? Essentially I want a fixed constrained as shown below. The idea is to apply a force on the highlighted surface in blue and the determine the max force it will take until this part starts to deflect. Thanks, SolidworksSimulation
How to Convert Number of cycles into Days / Years ? Dear Everyone, Good day! I am doing a Fatigue Analysis using Linear Harmonic study and getting a Life plot using cycles. Can you help to clarify how to convert number of cycles we get into Years or days ?
Does someone know how to calculate the Stiffness of a VirtualWall? On the manual there is written there should be an article inwhich is explained how to calculate the stiffness of the wall. Ilogged-in in the customer portal but I couldn't find it. Someonehas it or knows where it is located?
hi , i have solidworks professional ,please i nead to active solid works simulation no simulation xpress . what i will do for that ? when I can change solidworks language english to french? SolidworksSimulation
It would be nice to get more information during meshing. Athough we get the (not responding) in the window titles we know it's finishing the mesh. Why is this part of mesh cycle using such a tight loop? Could we get more display information during this phase?
The sequel to my viral video from last year on the differential in motion, I now present a remake of Destin's video from Smarter Every Day, with a hint of Mythbusters tribute thrown in. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OP636oDSXY[
I have an assembly here where I want one part rigid. Whendoing so, the mesher keep meshing incompatible mesh. I discoveredthat if I put this pat deformable the mesher mesh compatible?Should it be like that?
Hi, I don't understand why the running simulation returns a "Thickness is not defined for one or more shelles", since all my shells aren't with a null thickness. And, btw, when i go out of simulX, all the surfaces of the modell are turning from hide to show, and it's....saying ..... a little boring. SolidworksSimulation
Cosmos uses what iterative scheme for large displacement instatic studies? Nonlinear studies let you choose between NR and MNR. What is thedefault method used in a static study when the large displacementoption is selected?SolidworksSimulation
