    Motion analysis with constrained geometry??

    Hi all, I've been using a 3rd party program to do kinematic studies and I would like to use solidworks. I have a top down design of a full suspension bicycle frame, all the parts geometry is contrained to a layout sketch. Therefore the whole assemlby is static in the model. The bicycle has a...

    Time for Linear Static Analysis

    Just incase anyone was following this. The reason I was running out of memory and analysis taking that long was the simultaneous equations weren't being solved i.e. Not converging. The analysis is happening in around 3.5hrs now and I'm getting results that are reasonable. Thanks for all the...

    ERROR: element group label assigned 0

    ERROR: element group label assigned 0 The model meshes fine and this error occurs just after Star.exe screen starts up. Has anyone encountered this error? I have no idea what it means and google didn't help me either. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Time for Linear Static Analysis

    Thanks for the replies so far, I've added another Solid state harddrive for page file memory so hopefully that speeds up the analysis a bit. I have a feeling the connections I'm using aren't completely constraining the parts. This leads to another question will the bond connection between 2...

    Time for Linear Static Analysis

    Hi everyone, I've just started using eng-tip and I like to say it is one of the best engineering forums about! As I'm sitting here waiting for my analysis to complete I was thinking has anyone correlated average times for analysis to complete vs. number of nodes, elements and DOF's. I'm fairly...
