Hi I am very beginner in SW simulation and I have this basic question that how much force do I need to apply, is it too much? or its too low as far as actual conditions are concerned. please help out me. i.e.g....I am not able to related how much a 10N force is practically, do I need to apply 10N or 100N?
Adnan,
How much force you need to apply has VERY little (not to say NOTHING) to do with SolidWorks Simulation, as it would be pretty much the same force you are gonna use in every design validation process either by hand, FEA or whichever kind of analysis you decide to go for.
What are you designing? What are the operating conditions? Whats the operational inputs/outputs? Those are the kind of question you need to ask yourself when trying to calculate the loads your design is subjected to. Those are you SW-Sim INPUTS, which means you estimate them WAY BEFORE even opening SolidWorks Simulation.
