    no convergence at contact location

    I'm new to FEA so if I leave out important info. required to answer my question, please let me know. The max von Mises stress isn't converging @ the contact location of the pin and hole. I performed H-adaptive and stress increases on every iteration. Courses of Action I can either (1) Figure...

    Bending Stress Calculation (Which Area Moment to Use?)

    I'm trying to compare normal stress theoretical values with SolidWorks simulated values. Refer to Picture When I use Ix values, my %difference is large. When I use Iy values, my %difference is less than 1%. I thought the correct "I" value to use would be Ix. Am I wrong...

    FEA Learning Recourses

    Hello, I'd like to learn more about (1) dynamic stress analysis [determining forces and stresses of moving bodies] & (2) analysis of assemblies [applying boundary conditions to connecting bodies]. Can anyone recommend online courses or books that would cover the topics of interest? I'd prefer...
