Hi,
I have designed a part that I wish to manufacture with a special material. But before doing so, I would like to see if the part is going to sag under its own weight.
The part is mostly 3 tubes of different bore-section stacked together.
I thought I would be able to study this in simulation express, but I did not find how.
Could anyone help me with this ?
Thank you !
In "big boy" FEA, this is done by applying acceleration equal to gravity. SW's Express does not allow this.
If your part is uniform enough, you could approximate with a directional load distributed across upward-facing surfaces.
