(NX User now in Solidworks)
Something I found simple in NX but struggling with in Solidworks: I have a lifting eye/lug (whatever name you want it to be called) to which I want to attach a cable/chain/rope.
I have attached a sketch showing what I'm trying to achieve.
In NX I would make the solid of the lifting eye, add a point to its centre, join the point to a section of the inside surface of the lifting eye with rigid elements (blue lines in sketch), then attach a 'tension only element' to the centre point (red line in sketch). How can I achieve a similar setup in solidworks? I cant seem to do any point to face connections. If it means I have to put pins in or something, that is okay.
Appreciate your help.
