I am trying to run a structural analysis on 2 PVC wheels with a rigid axle in between, putting the force on the axle and showing the displacement and stress on the wheels themselves only.
Whenever I try to run Mechanica analysis' like this I always get the same error. It meshes fine, the design analysis runs fine, but then when I click view results the results window opens with no prompt, and then when I manually locate the results file I get the error shown in the attached Jpeg. This only happens with more complicated analysis, as I did a test run on a simple cantilevered beam constrained at one end and the results popped up with a prompt on what to display and then showed the results no problem. Almost all the structural analysis I have to do are on more complicated setups so if anyone could guide me in the right direction to get my results shown that would be great.
By the way I am constraining the outer surfaces of the wheels to act as the ground, and putting the force across the axle which I defined as a rigid member. Is this the appropriate way to go about this?
Regards, and thanks in advance for the help.
