I am using a trial of Simulation. I have build a small model to test some ideas and learn simulation. The model is a shaft with an offcenter, eccentric on the end that when rotated will slide a clamp head in linear motion. The model moves as expected when I am modeling mode. When I run simulation it runs like the shaft is bonded to the block. It seems like no force is translated to the clamp head???
What am I doing wrong?
Eric,Not sure what's going on, but when I download and try to open your files it causes SolidWorks to crash. I can open any file but yours, and when I do the program completely freezes and then force shuts down.
Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but I only mentioned it to see if someone else could try to download it. Perhaps it is just my machine?
That's weird. Do the components load if you try to open them without the assy?
Linear analysis won't 'tolerate' that much motion. Do you have some result pics? I suspect that you have global bonding between the block and the eccentric - you'll need non-penetrating and maybe some friction.
