...
Nondesign spaceshave to be selected using the Optimization Tools. In this case the three screw holes are being used and a Nondesign space with an offset of 2 mm is created for each.
...
Furthermore the top plate is created as a Nondesign space with an offset of 3 mm
...
Step 3: Definition of boundary conditions
...
In this case one force is defined (on the upper surfacetop plate):
Name | Force/Moment/Pressure/Gravity | Direction | Value in N |
|---|---|---|---|
Force - Moment 1 | Force on cell | z | -1000 |
...
Three constraints are created and attached on the Nondesign spaces:
Name | Direction |
|---|---|
Constraint 1 | x, y, z (=0) |
Constraint 2 | x, y, z (=0) |
Constraint 3 | x, y, z (=0) |
...
Step 4: Definition of load cases
