- The uploaded objects are listed in the objects/surfaces area.
- Assign a Material to each object/surface and enter the specific values for the Young's Modulus and poisson ratio in the Material Editor.
- 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| hand_close | Eccentrichand1 | y | -200 |
| hand_open | Eccentrichand1 | y | 200 |
| 0_degree_bolt | Eccentricbolt1 | y | -5000 |
| 45_degree_bolt | Eccentricbolt1 | x y | -3000 -3000 |
| 90_degree_bolt | Eccentricbolt1 | x | -3000 |
| Name | Object | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Fixation_0degree1 | Eccentric0_degree1 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation_0degree2 | Eccentric0_degree2 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation_45degree1 | Eccentric45_degree1 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation_45degree2 | Eccentric45_degree2 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation_90degree1 | Eccentric90_degree1 | x, y, z (=0) |
| Fixation_90degree2 | Eccentric90_degree2 | x, y, z (=0) |
- A total of 5 forces and 6 fixations should have been created as a result.
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.
