Hi all,
I have a doubt on FEM analysis conducted with Generative Structure Analysis module of CATIA V5.

If I leave 1 DOF (one rotation) on a part, but the equilibrium is done by balanced forces which I impose, can I solve FEM analysis on CATIA?

Or it need to set 0 DOF on a part?

If I leave 1 DOF it says that there is singularities but however it solves it. Why? Is this solution correct?

What is the best configuration?
Open your mind.


Thank you very much!
