Hi all, Have a fairly simple model of a rectangular plate with a few different holes in the middle. I want to show the distribution of stresses and strain along the plate.
Now, I have my simulation setup with one fixed face at the bottom and a 1kN force on the other face. This won't give me satisfying results...
Is it possible to have two forces, ( equal length in the reverse direction) on both faces, instead of fixing one?
Also, ideally I wish to put a certain amount of deformation instead of the force. How can this be achieved?
Thanks for the suggestions!
Case 1, 2 forces - yes....but, you'll probably have to add constraints to a point here or there to stabilize the model.
Case 2, displacement - yes...make one side constrained and add a displacement constraint to the other end (I think it is under advanced - add a value in the needed direction.)
