Hi all,
I'm trying to make a simple simulation in Solidworks but I keep getting the same error.
Situation: 2 plates, bolted together in overlap
Model: the plates are parts, new assembly in which the plates are bolted together through the 'fast smarteners'
When clicking on 'SimulationXpress' to add loads to the model, I get the error that SimulationXpress does not support the Assembly. I try to study the impact on the shear stresses in the bolts when applying different forces to the plates.
Is there another way for me to simulate this?
Many thanks,
J-M
Hi Jean,
Express does not support Assemblies as it has told you so unless you can get a hold of a full version of Simulation you will not be able to analyze the assembly. However, you can try saving the assembly as a part and then run your analysis that way.
