    results of a FEA on a plastic part

    The previous plot is from the same analysis though. How does that make sense? The deflection plot is attached. Yield Strength is 6.7e7N/m^2 or 67MPa. Does this mean the darts will break with this deflection...

    results of a FEA on a plastic part

    Thanks for your prompt replies. All i have is a restrained face and a force on the darts. I do not think its the loading. What do you mean by boundary conditions? I have plotted the stress and it shows that it will be above the yield strength, which is consistent with the FOS. Please see...

    results of a FEA on a plastic part

    Hi all I am new to Cosmos so please bare with me. I have been trying to analyse the darts on a plastic part which is made from acetal resin material. Please see attachment. The darts are required to deflect 1mm. I always get a factor of safety (FOS) less than 1 to achieve this. I have...
