loading of load set on timing

Y. S. Tan Mar 19, 2014 12:56 PM

hi,

i would like to ask how can i set the load to last for a timing and not on constant load. An example would be a gust of wind. its last for a few seconds but when on constant load it would cause big changes

thanks

are we talking about flow simulation or solidworks simulation (fea/structural analysis)?

if we're talking flow, you need to setup a transient analysis and then use a volume flow rate that changes over time

in simulation, you need linear dynamic - time history or nonlinear dynamic with a force that changes over time.

  hi, sorry for the lack of information. im trying to simulate a how a banner would react to the surrounding wind. the banner work be 8 by 2 m. any recommandation on which simulation i should work on?

    what do you want to learn about it?

      i would like to learn how the pole holding the banner would bend due to the wind

        i would start with afirst order approximation, apply a force to the banner in a static analysis
        if you want to go further, you can run a flow simulation first and then import the pressure distribution
        this is covered in the standard training for flow and static analysis. we offer these classes online if you're interested. www.hawkridgesys.com.
