Hi,
I am trying to do stress analysis with a threaded rod and a plate.
I manually cut threads to model real threads so that I can figure out how much force it can withstand without deformation.
Please refer the screenshot I attached.
The plate should be able to move up and down as the rod turns its a lead screw mechanism. Right now I just want to run simulation so I can calculate when X force/pressure is applied at the centre of the plate through an inserted tube how much force the rod can take before the deformation of the rod/plate occurs.
Two smooth rods are for supporting the plate.
I am however not sure which contacts/constrains I need to apply to this threaded rod and the plate.
Or is it impossible to do such a simulation on Inventor?
Thank you,
