Re: Force required Displacement in 2D-Simulation
Ryan Dark Jan 31, 2018 12:48 PM (in response to Michael Kuhn)Hi Michael,
In the definition of a 2D simplification analysis you would need to enter the theoretical section depth of the 2D cross section in order to start the analysis. The section depth you put in would determine how the program calculates the resultant force from sending your snap hook through this displacement.
Beyond that, you would just run the study then right click on 'Results' to go to 'List Result Force' and measure, what should be, the real applied force to cause that displacement.

Do you have information about constant for your polymer's model of material?
Would you mind provide me your geomtry please?

Michael Kuhn Feb 1, 2018 7:44 AM (in response to Ryan Dark)Aha,
very helpful! I thought this entry is just for displaying reasons - thank u.
Unfortunately i´m can not share the CAD-File.
I´am using a Non Linear Material Model. A very good website to get material data is https://www.campusplastics.com/
There u get strain/tension diagrams which u can use to fully define your material.But take care when defining a new material via strain/tension data. Solidworks does not need strain in [%] - so don't forget dividing by 100.
