Hi NewFriend, Hope you got an answer to your question. Otherwise, you need to assign properties to your meshed components (as usual for a geometry). Then you need to create (Assembly page) instances of every component and then you can apply loads, BC, etc. Hope helped you.

Thank you very much Greg! I feel better, because I'm not "alone in the desert." I'll try your suggestions. What I tried until now was the following: - use 4 solid elements per thickness (flexplate) of first order with 1mm element size; - use 2 quadratic solid elements per thickness of 2mm size...

All my previous simulations used contact between al the parts in contact (less of course between ring gear and flexplate). But I found that there is no big difference in displacement when I tied the parts. So, the big difference between tests and FEA appear in the realm of displacements. For a...

In my simulation: - modeled flexplate, ring gear, bolts & crank; - tie (weld) ring gear to the flexplate, tie crank area to the flexplate and bolt heads to the flexplate; - I'm constraining in all DOF the flexplate at the torque converter lugs and apply the loads in a MPC, at the end (and...

I'm trying to correlate test displacements results for a flexplate assembly with static linear FEA results under a concentrated axial load, using ABAQUS Standard. They do not match. The theory shows that ABAQUS is correct in its results. This means my assumptions for FEA are not correct or not...
