I am having convergence troubles when I use compression only cylindrical pin support (becomes a non-linear solution).
Would appreciate any tips for faster convergence?
I have low RAM to mesh full assembly for vibration analysis. Nuts, bolts and screws alone will cut my model size drastically.
Is there a way to approximate nuts, bolts and screw effects in an assembly so I can remove them in the solid model assembly?
Gurmeet:
It is not physically possible to the effect of certain casting defects especially spongy shrinkage, gas holes or microporosity on FEA , since they affect
properties very diffently.
Programs like Magma are useless when it comes to predicting any of these defect types they are...
