    Hinged Door error

    Can anyone tell me what a "hinged door" meshing error is, and how to fix it?

    Creating FEM from assembly

    Liro, if I use your method do I still need to add the *springs* that LeonEng mentioned? I tried your method -- meshed two blocks, created assembly of two blocks, then CONSTRAINED the two blocks in assembly, then created FEM From Assembly, selected the two FEM's, updated, RESTRAINED the part...

    Creating FEM from assembly

    hm... i tried creating two separate FEM's for each part, but the system only lets me place one FEM on the workbench at one time. i've also tried creating an assembly, but when i try to mesh, the system automatically turn the assembly into a single part file. is there a such thing as a...

    Creating FEM from assembly

    are you saying to create two separate FEM's for the two different part files. then place both FEM's onto the workbench and create restraints between the blocks?

    Creating FEM from assembly

    I took two blocks (separate parts) and created an assembly file, and placed surface constraints to fuse the two boxes together. Then I created a FEM from the assembly, which automatically takes the assembly and makes it become one part file. With this part file which represented two blocks...

    Cannot modify mesh

    Why is it that after creating a mesh, previewing, and selecting "keep mesh", i cannot go into the mesh and modify it? All the boxes become grayed out. This occurs even if I do not have any solutions tied to the mesh. Thanks

    How to set Temperatur Boundary conditions

    I want to do FEA on a part, seeing the stress on it if there is a delta Temperature of 100 deg C. So let's say I will warm it from 0 C to 100 C. How do I set this? In the boundary condition setup, there is a space that asks for the amplitude of my Temp. I assume I put 100 here? But where do...

    Partitioning help

    ok, i got it to work. i found out that when defining the section to extrude, i have to select both the outer edge of the large cylinder, as well as the edge of the inner circle. thanks

    Partitioning help

    I've come across another problem. I'll try to explain this a best as I can. Let's say I have one large cylinder (5" diam, 4" height). Inside this cylinder, I want to stack two smaller cylinders (like a wedding cake). I want a 4" diam, 2" height cylinder on the bottom, and...

    Partitioning help

    i finally succesfully partitioned the model. you guys were correct in saying to build the entire solid before paritioning it. i was building each feature and partitioning it immediately after. i believe this is what caused the problems. thanks for all your help!

    Partitioning help

    a follow up question... if i create a partition and it tells me that the "partition is not fully defined", and it also turn yellow on my History Tree, is there a way to query what exactly is "not defined" ??? thanks

    Partitioning help

    my intent for the partition is to model an FEA with separate volumes that i can specify different material and mesh characteristics. i seem to have trouble doing FEA on assemblies, and this method has seemed to work well, up until now, now that the parts are becoming more complex. any advice?

    Partitioning help

    cannot "contain curves", meaning, for example, i cannot partition a cylindrical volume within a rectangular block? thanks

    Partitioning help

    I am creating a part which needs to be partitioned into about 6 separate volumes (but still be considered ONE part). I notice that if I don't create the features in a certain order, when I start to partition, I get errors. Is there a certain convention about the order in which I create the...
