    Static simulation setup - question

    Made the assumption that the forces due to gravity were already applied to the model.

    Contact Elements out of range?

    Might anyone be able to shed some light on this error message? Shows up during a static analysis, before the solver even starts. Thanks

    Static simulation setup - question

    I am setting up a static analysis simulation in solidworks. A load is applied vertically down (due to gravity, -y) onto two beams 24 inches apart with the load accepting face(s) of the beams oriented 30 degrees from horizontal (x). My question is regarding the solver for solidworks and how it...

    Simulation study setup question

    I am setting up a static analysis simulation in solidworks.

    Simulation - static analysis fail

    Haha, yeah kinda feels that way! Well, solved it by updating the model and saving all components, then repeating this tact in the study as I mentioned before. Now that that's solved, here is the next mind boggling return from simulation... "Midside nodes on two edges of an element are merged...

    Simulation - static analysis fail

    Not sure if this issue has been addressed previously, but while generating a mesh and solving a static analysis in one structural configuration...all goes well and results as expected. Once a slight change is made to the geometry of the model, I update the assembly components in the study...
