    Applied gravity in one sirection and then the other

    Kellnerp - no plastic deformation.. I was thinking that the imported geometry might not have enough strain to actually import correctly as the max displacement is only around 50nm. Thanks for the suggestion mrpi, I will try a much simpler case.

    Applied gravity in one sirection and then the other

    I am working with a model of a circular disc with a bowl on one side (off axis concave mirror). What I am trying to do is apply a gravity load, import the displaced geometry then create a new study with a reverse gravity load. The idea is to bring the displacement back to 0, but this is not...

    Affordable Accelerometer Data Collection

    My question is I have a couple different NI DAQ boards and a signal conditioner, but do not want to pay for an updated version of LabVIEW. Are there any third party softwares that can communicate with the boards. If not what is the best cheap package of DAQ and software out there? Thanks in...
