I found this passage on a discussion thread from 2005 ( http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=123400&page=420 ) in this forum:
"3D plots/graphs turned directly in to a solid model for prototyping. A great addition to SW."
Does anyone know if this is somehow possible?
It would be very...
Alright. I didn't realise that the program could succeed in doing a calculation by making a round-off error.
I was trying to make an I-beam to see how the stresses would distribute (compared to manual elastic beam calculations). And so now this is my model:
It seems to me now that this model...
Yeah well, the screenshot shows the second model I made as a test. The first one was an I-beam with more supports. I changed it, and it worked. Then I changed it back to how it was, and it worked. Then I tried the test model (as shown on the screenshot) and that one worked as well.
So, even...
I changed the fixtures of my I-beam (not the one in the above screenshot), and now it seems to work - even if I change the fixtures back to how they were originally. Hopefully this won't be a problem from now on.
Moderators: Feel free to delete this thread if it seems superfluous now.
I'm new to this board and to SolidWorks Simulation. I did the static analysis tutorial, and that study worked perfectly.
Then I tried a test I-beam to see, how the results of SW Simulation compared to regular non FEA calculations, but now I can't seem to get it to run the study. I tried with an...
