Hi, there,
I am new to simulation. watched some youtube, they talked about the load to analys the stress at certain area, I would like to konw how to do this,
I have a part need clipped on another part when assembly, also I know when assembly it, the mouth need be opened about 0.3mm, how to simulate the situation to see if the part break or not, let's say the material is PEEK.
thank you in advance!

You could use the Reference Geometry option under Fixture or Prescribed Displacement under Loads. Choose the faces that displaces and the direction, as well as the magnitude of to.3mm
Run the study and analyse the Stress results, make sure its below the Yield Strength of the material
A better way (IMHO) would be to apply a deflection constraint on the geometry that you expect to move the 0.3mm. The pressure noted above would give a false stress in the part.
Load your tube with internal pressure (or force) to expend tube ID at .3 mm to fit assembly requirement. (This is the way to simulate the tube in assembly mode). Run the Simulation Study and analyze results. Check if:
If for both questions the answer is “YES”, you are OK and part will be not destroyed during assembly.
