GREAT! thanks guys :)
I managed to get something....attached imagehttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=b7dd90e4-c112-431d-9cb5-8de2067f57cb&file=clock_spring3.png
Hi, does anyone know how to model a clock spring in SolidWorks? I can draw the flat spiral using the helix/spiral tool but don't know how to then add a cross section area to it??? So it's just a line drawing at the moment! (see attached image)
Any help appreciated :)
Hi there, I have modeled a thin rubber sheet with dimensions: 0.1m * 0.1m * 0.01m, a linear elastic material with E =3MPa and nu =0.49.
I applied symmetry boundary conditions on two adjacent edges, and a uniaxial displacement loading of 0.1m normal to one of the other edges. (and NLGEOM is on)...
