In a first step, you need to create a new project. All data (geometry and configuration) directly will be copied and saved in a new project-folder, located in your workspace:
- Start AMendate.
- Create a new project using the symbol
...
- Activate the option design space for the relevant stl file. Only one volume can be selected as such:
Step 3: Definition of boundary conditions
Go to the boundary conditions tab to enter the loads and fixations as follows. For each boundary condition a name, a space and the specification of the boundary condition is entered as follows:
| Name | Object | Direction | Value in N |
|---|---|---|---|
| Force | Pedalfootsurface1 | y | -1000 |
| Name | Object | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Fixation | Pedalaxle1 | x, y, z (=0) |
- A total of 1 force and 1 fixation should have been created as a result
- The object "Pedalfixation1" does not experience any force or fixation but is necessary to connect the pedal with the axle. Therfore the form is considered in the optimization.
All boundary conditions are must be assigned to the load cases. The number of load cases can be changed using the "+" or "-" characters. The assignment of the boundaries to the load cases can be made in the boundary conditions or load cases area.
