Hello,
I am very new to SolidWorks and I am having trouble running a Frequency Simulation on a very simple structure.
I have 3 Structural Member tubes joined together, with a couple of gussets in the corners. Tubes are modelled as Beams, gussets are Solids. I've created Contact Sets to bond the gussets to the beams.
I have simplified the model further by removing one of the gussets.
When I run the simulation, I get this error:
(The solver has numerical difficulties. Inadequate fixtures or too large inplane loads or displacements. Specify a shift, or reduce load/displacement).
If I make a Static Simulation and copy my Contact Sets there, the Static Simulation works as expected - nothing is loose. If I remove the gussets the Frequency Simulation starts working.
I am not sure why this is happening, or what I can try to fix it.
I am attaching my part. Any help would be appreciated.
