On my project, I used a number of strain gages on the physical test sample (mostly rosettes since I didn't know the orientation of the strain). But, I never did figure out how to get SW to tell me the orientation of the strain vectors. The above method sounds like it will work, but I would...

I'm working on a project pretty much doing exactly the same thing as the original poster and have the same question: how to get Solidworks Sim to tell me the principal stress or strain orientation. It easily shows magnitudes for all nodes, but not direction. justkeepgiviner: did you ever figure...

thread1183-252555 I basically have the same question as the above thread, does anybody have any tips? When the error message mentions in-plane loading, what plane are they talking about? I don't have any remote loads in my frequency sim (at least, none that I know about). Thanks.

Thanks for the replies! I'm still in the concept phase of my design, but I have plenty of ideas now on how to make it work.

I have seen compression coil springs that are rising rate, where the number of active coils decreases as the spring is compressed. Has anybody ever seen a compression spring with a falling rate? Thinking about this for a couple minutes, I'm not sure how/if it can be done. I know it can be...
