    How to model this problem?

    Yes I noticed I wrote it wrong, in fact it gave me larger deflection than that ! ( like 175 mm or something) which is insane !... it isn't about the material, it's about the boundary conditions I think, is it correct to model the torque like that way? also the bearing? because I modeled it as a...

    How to model this problem?

    Hello, @Fea Way, sorry for the late reply... strangely I didn't an email notification for your reply... This is the main motor bottom plate, my main issue is here, in fact it gives me adequate stresses with very large displacements of about 6.2 mm !!! I thought that Solidworks switched to large...

    How to model this problem?

    Hello, I’m doing a project of something like the trunnion mechanism which is a motor that rotates another motor, which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the first motor… I need some insight about how to do the hand calculations for it, eg; what type of stresses should I check for? And...

    How to Assume the Foundation Stiffness in Elastic Supports?

    Hi, I am trying to model a simple modal analysis setup with mechanical workbench ( I drew the setup here: http://imgur.com/TobqhvZ ). I think the supports can be modeled by very low stiffness static supports because they are made of cotton (to minimize the effects of a rigid support). but I...

    Asking for help in BAJA SAE Car

    Hello,I've joined a racing contest for Off-Road cars , called Baja SAE ( Society of Automotive Engineers) The car contains tubes that are welded together or attached together by flanges I am familiar with Abaqus and ANSYS btw What are the main aspects that we should consider in modeling and...
