I'm back with more thoughts/questions.
How often do you have to re-run a study because (for instance) you measured a distance on the original model and not the prepped model, so a part being displaced isn't traveling as far as it should? Or you've gotten a new model with a setup that's pretty...
I'm trying to capture the reaction force of a rigid part that is being displaced, but XY Field data is only giving me the value for the last frame that it solves to. I've worked on other studies that I could extract the plot with no problem, but this one only gives me one data point. Is there...
Thanks for the input, knowing that others really do have issues like that is reassuring. One of the other things that annoys me is I try to bring up some of these issues and immediately get dismissed, like its totally unreasonable to have trouble switching gears like that. Or if I say I'm not...
Thanks everyone for the input, there's some good food for thought. I guess my concern is more about the actual work load and how you handle solving times and if you fill that time in with other work or how you balance multiple projects at once. Or even how many projects would you work on at the...
Can anyone chime in with what procedures they go through for an FEA study? I'm supposed to be picking up more responsibility as the "Lead Analyst", and I feel like my view of how an FEA project should go is different than my bosses.
For example lets say we're analyzing a shelf that mounts to...
The company organization is extremely flat. The owner of the company, and the engineering manager are my only supervisors.
When I first started 7 years ago, I didn't schedule things (pretty much a company wide issue at the time), didn't update schedules, etc. I'd get a project and work on it...
I'm the lead analyst in a small company. I like doing FEA, and figuring things out, but they want me to be more of a manager, and know how to schedule tasks, and work towards making everything more efficient. Its driving me crazy. When I first started out of college I was basically given a...
