Deflection using simulation on extrusion

Laresha Fluker Dec 1, 2016 3:09 PM

I have some know information about my extrusion piece. It has a mounting arm attached at the top and when the arm swings we have almost an inch of deflection "real world". I wanted to apply this within solidworks simulation, when I do It gives me a deflection of over 3". I try to adjust the amount of force and it still results with the same deflection. What am I doing wrong?

The real condition and boundry conditions are not looking the same. Solve with hand calculation.

If you want to model this exturation with simulation take a look on NAFEM Benchmarks models

is the fixtures that you applied are correct? ( fixed at one end...i.e, is it like a cantilever beam)
