I am designing hubs that are constrained by a double raced tapered roller bearing. Therefore I need to constrain rotation about that bearing face on the hub. What degrees of freedom does a fixed support constrain (3 translational and 3 rotational if I am correct)? I am importing geometry from...
Yes it is constrained. I have done some sizing controls and things of that sort. I have tried this constraint with two different types of analysis. One using a singe model for geometry with no contact and one using several models (assembly) with contact points. I use Solidworks as my 3D CAD...
I need to fix a couple faces in my model to keep them from rotating in certain degrees of freedom. However, when I go attempt to use the fixed surface option (highlight Environment, click Structural) it is grayed out. Is this an assembly only feature? How can I use this feature? I think I am...
Well it fixed the problem until I restarted. After restarting my computer, the same error pops up. An ANSYS WB Module Error pops up with Send/Don't Send options immediately after the attach status bars completely fill up. I do not remember changing any settings in ANSYS or Solidworks after it...
Hey everyone, I installed the latest version of DirectX and problem fixed. It was kind of a last resort/guess that my teammate (see the above post) suggested. So now he is rubbing it in. I guess I will let him have it while he can, he doesn't get the chance to often.
Alright, I have tried the following:
-tried importing geometry through Solidworks both as .sldprt and .igs
-tried loading geometry in ANSYS (Solidworks Geometry) both as .sldprt and .igs
-reinstalled ANSYS 10 more times than I can count
-I have also gone into the repair...
Hey everyone,
First off I am new to the forum, so hang with me here. The 3D CAD program that I use for my Formula FSAE design project is Solidworks 2005 and I am trying to import geometry from Solidworks 2005 into ANSYS 10 for simulation. However, I am getting an error. The license process...
