Thank you -- as I have only had a brief experience with FEA (with a CAD class in undergrad), does anyone have any step by step guide that could be useful? I understand what you're saying, but I am not familiar enough with the software to set up those conditions.
Thanks!!
It's not for a school assignment. I have already finished my finals. I am hoping to get more training before I start job interviews and I want to have functioning models.
Oh, okay! I remember learning about that in my one of my other classes...
Indeed, when I choose no penetration, I get an error. Is there a way to make sure the rigid body motions are stabilized so I can apply this?
Thank you for your replies -- they are really helping me understand this project further.
I will be adding the pressure internally to model the fluid on the inner walls of the syringe as well as the bottom face of the plunger in contact with the fluid.
Is there no way to apply the fixture to a...
When you say apply pressure to the inner part -- do you mean like in my current model?
When I run the analysis, there is no displacement of the plunger to the inside of the body (vertical direction). It kinda looks like it is fixed in place and pushing down just makes the plunger bend and...
Hi y'all,
I am trying to simulate the mechanics of a medical syringe. I am trying to run a linear static analysis and I am not really concerned with running a CFD for the project. Basically I just want to simulate the plunger moving downwards when a force is applied. I am having trouble setting...
