Hi,
I have a dynamic analysis problem involving a steel structure and glass panes. The glass panes are looseley attached to the steel structure. They contribute mass, but not stifness.
I am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to model this. The steel structure is a beam model and, for the...
Hi,
I am trying to import a Solidworks made model to Femap. The model is built with 2D shell elements (it is already used for analysis in Solidworks Simulation).
Upon importing, Femap seems to treat all the geometry as Solid, and always requesting Solid property. Even if I explode the 1...
I am trying to figure out if an unequal angle steel profile (200x100) can be replaced by a bent plate of equal dimensions.
I can calculate second moment of area for the shape easily and check, but production wise I have no idea how a bent plate will behave compared to profile (I assume hot or...
I am relatively new to solidworks simulation so maybe I am asking something quite obvious but any help would be appreciated. The model I am working on can be seen in attached image. I am trying to do a linear analysis, taking into account uneven supports.
Load is continuous, but indicated...
I have a question regarding primer painting.
We are getting a casting/machining order from a company, followed by transport to another location for assembly.
All the non-machined surfaces can be painted for corrosion protection, but I'm not certain what to do about machined surfaces. Should a...
Hello,
I have a design issue with a bearing/bushing. I'm not really certain how to proceed in checking this element.
The attached image shows the schematic. I have three cylindrical bodies: the housing, the pin and the bearing. The bearing surface is equal to 2xDiameter of pin.
The Pin...
I am trying to find out if there is a recommended practice for groove design in bushings. All of the cases I found were rotating and I have an axially moving cylinder within two bronze bushings, grease lubricated...
Current idea is to have a radial groove on the outside with four holes...
I have a question regarding affixing a threaded flange to a shaft.
The flange is the end element of a hydraulic cylinder transfering the axial force. The flange and shaft have a threaded connection.
My question is related to the method fixing the flange in position on the thread. Currently...
