Ok, i'm new to SW's. I don't have the toolbox. I made my own bolt. It's going to hold to pieces together with a specified load. How do i make the program see the compression load at the jointed areas for the FEA analysis?
Thank You
Thanks for the help. I did some more analysis last night after adjusting the deformaiton scale. As far as a tensile load, it showed me what i was expecting to see. I will try the other tests tonight. Thank again.
Thanks Shaggy18vw, i understand about applying the proper forces. That's why i'm here asking questions,hoping to get input from some experts. What about a cyclic load like the rod actually sees during operation. Is there a program that will perform a cyclic load? Should i be looking at finding...
Mandrake22, thank you. I'am using Works. This test is just a beginning for me. What i'm trying to do is find the weak spots or locations of the rod. I started this project with the idea of improving the rod, lighter or stronger. What would you recommend i should look at? Thank again.

I would be very appreciative if someone could help me.
Thank You
Hello everybody, first i'll say that i'm new to solid works-about 2 months. I'm new to Cosmos, new to CAD and i'm not an engineer. So now that you know who your dealing with. I'm analyizing an automotive connecting rod. The particular analysis i'm currently doing is a tension load. What i did...
