    snap-hook fit with angular deformation

    I though I handled this by the cylindrical support BC ? I understand I miss the friction but it's of minor importance for the U-hook on the snap-fit I think.. I'm using ANSYS Mechanical 18 so it supports contacts, even though it can be a mess xD

    snap-hook fit with angular deformation

    Hi Jason, Hmm yes possible.. so you mean adding a "thumb" / plate on top of the snap geometry with a connection? Won't these BCs collide with the remote displacement? If the two geometries are connected with bonded/no seperation. I'm starting to realize more and more that the original...

    snap-hook fit with angular deformation

    Hi, Currently I'm facing a problem of what I thought would be a rather simple setup with a snap fit design. However I face some difficulties regarding the boundary conditions as I think it's important to get the snap to have a rotational displacement. First of all: what is the proper way to do...
