I am trying to do static simulation to find how much force I would need to hold an item. So I decided to do a simple test part.
In first figure, 1.5 N upwards only should be reaction force if item needs to be static. Right? (Correct me if I am wrong )
But SW static analysis shows that I need to apply force in horizontal region also which is not insignificant amount of force.
What am I doing wrong?
Update: SOLVED
It seems that I had misunderstood about fixture. I had fixture to stop all translational motion thinking that if I applied fixture to stop translational only in X direction, it would simply neglect that.
I changed the fixture to limit translational motion only in y direction (vertical) then I got the result I wanted.
