Re: Suggestions for accurate fixtures and meshing.
Qi Xian Ho,
I use your full name because I am never sure which name to use with oriental names.
I didn't look at your files, but you might want to check how the results are being displayed. Make sure that you are looking at a normally scaled plot of the deflections. Simulation software often uses exaggerated scales so that very small deflections will be noticeable in the plots.

Re: Suggestions for accurate fixtures and meshing.
That's a good call Jerry. Could the op post a picture of what they are seeing that is of concern? What is the expected result? Have you tested on a simple part and compared against a known solution?

Re: Suggestions for accurate fixtures and meshing.
I will post a picture of the result soon. Speaking of known solution, what are some methods of calculation that i can do on paper to ballpark an acceptable figure for displacement and stress? Would engineer bending theory and direct stiffness method be sufficient or reliable enough in this case?

Re: Suggestions for accurate fixtures and meshing.
Reliable is a relative term. Everything you do has assumptions but if the inputs and outputs to your hand calcs are they same as your sim, that should work.

Haha silly me, i changed the scale and everything makes much more sense now. Thank you very much.
