    Choosing FE Simulation Type for Dynamics and Impact/Force Data into FE

    I am running the FEA of a wheel hitting a wall and trying to determine whether I have to use a dynamical simulation, or whether a static simulation can give reasonable results instead. I am interested in the stresses and deformation of the wheel parts. Question 1 The Solidworks Simulation help...

    Simulation of Non-layered Composite

    Hi there, The composite I am looking to simulate has long fibre cast into a matrix (metal-matrix-composite), and is not layered up like an epoxy-carbon. The fibres are sometime uni-directional and sometime follow a 3D path. The 'traditional' approach for composite FEA is to model the plies on...

    Defining Datum at mid-plane between none parallel surfaces (GD&T)

    Hey, I am trying to finalise a machining drawing of a part shown in it's finish state here: https://postimg.cc/DWDPQcYm. The part is made via an unusual casting process - the part is cast between two plates, which once removed only leaves the middle profile surface (labelled A) and end surface...
