I'm running SolidWorks 2011 SP 4.0. When I mesh and solve solid assembly static studies, which is most of what I do with Simulation, the mesh and results are extremely sensitive to any change to the model. Rebuilding the model will result in a non-current mesh and results. Switching to an...
I'm performing a 3D uncoupled acoustic analysis of a large machinery house with numerous sound sources.
I have octave band sound power data for the various sources as well as the octave band absorption coefficients for the enclosure walls.
I'm interested in the total sound pressure level in...
I don't know if this applies to floworks or not since I haven't used it, but as an alternative to using the 'select other' method for selecting inner faces I like to create an exploded view of the assembly.
With an exploded view I can make the inner faces visible and easy to access simply by...
The Cosmos knowledge base had this to say:
"The FFE solver issues this message when it is not converging after 5000 iterations. This means that the problem is hard to converge. Many causes can lead to this situation, including but not limited to: Large difference between Young's modulus of the...
