I am trying to simulate squeezing a simple u shaped spring with simulation Xpress 2011, no matter what pressure or force value I add the spring never moves more that a certain length. The spring sides never touch each other. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Robert,
Simulation Xpress does an automatic scaling of the deflection. Usually the deflection is multiplied by some factor to make it visible. In your case, the factor may be less than one. Check your numeric results and compare to the gap between the ends.
