Hello,
I have a 30 meters long frame that resemble the chassis of a plane.
I simulated the effort due to a 100 km/h wind and got my results. I used variable pressure on my tubes and I did my study only on the front part for mesh timing purpose.
Then, I checked the reaction forces and moments list but I also need to find the exact point where that force and moment is going to be.
I have attached a print screen of this. I am perplexed on the fact that the biggest torque is around the X-axis when it should be around the Y-axis.
I have been looking for days, so I don't know if I am being very clear. If you think you can help me and need more details, don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks,
Best regards.
Seb.
You could do a transient analysis though I doubt that the results would be any different than if you ran a series of static studies. My recommendation would be to run the series of static studies - easier to control and if you want you can explore the descretization errors under more controlled conditions. It will avoid issues of coordinating time steps to save out the data you want. On the other hand, if carefully done the transient might be quicker.
