    Solidworks simulation - Component contact and stress singularity

    Hi, I run additional analysis to try to understand if the stresses I get are true stresses or singularities. I am quite sure they are singularities but it doesn't mean I can completely ignore them. First, I run a convergence analysis and the stress seams to be infinite at the contact edges of...

    Solidworks simulation - Component contact and stress singularity

    Hi, Thanks for your answers. Yes I know my mesh isn't really adapted for a final study. At the moment I am still running draft mesh as I wanted to get rid of the stress singularity first. I ran jacobian 4 mesh in standard quality but the results are similar. How many elements within the...

    Solidworks simulation - Component contact and stress singularity

    Hi, The gearbox to mounting box contact is a no penetration contact (node to surface). The Mounting box to body contact is a no penetration contact (node to surface) with a friction coefficient of 0.1. No penetration contact sets (node to surface) under the bolt head. No penetration contact...

    Solidworks simulation - Component contact and stress singularity

    Hi all, I run a FEA on an assembly and I am not sure if I can trust my results or if they are "polluted" by a singularity. The top part, a gearbox generate a torque transmitted through some bolts an pins connectors to the folded parts, the Mounting Box. (Enclosed "Gearbox connection") This...
