Simulation Express:how many millimeters measure this deformation?

Luca Reggiani May 29, 2014 9:23 AM

Hello everyone, I had never used Simulation Express before (from SWX2012), the data entry Wizard makes it easy and quick, but the reading of the data is a little tricky to me, such as in this case, I need to know the value the arrow "X" to the bracket, can you tell me where can I find this value?

PS: I need the value in millimeters, now I read this value "1589e+001" but I do not understand how many millimeters this value corresponds to...

Luca,

You should be able to change the units or numbering in the deflection scale, but 1.589e+001mm is 15.89mm. I don't know if Simulation Express has the "Probe" tool, but if it does you can use it to select a point and get a value for whatever is being show (stress, strain, deflection, etc) at that point.

  Tnk's Eric, if possible, i love to see with screen shoot, where I can change the units or numbering in the deflection scale, can you help me?
  
  I check my SWX Unit but seems all right: unit = mm
  
  If 1.589e+001mm is 15.89mm, 6.620e+000 means 6.62mm? (the "+000" move the decimal 0 times and the "+001" move decimal 1times and "+003" move decimal 3 times? so as an example 6.600e+003=660.0mm?)
  
  The text "URES (mm)" makes me confused ...
  
  What's "Probe tool"?
  
  Thank's again

    Ures is srqrt of the sum of squeals of x y z, the resultant. You cannot get c only in xpress.
    
    You also can't change the scale in xpress.
    
    You also don't have probe in express.
    
    And yes your conversion is correct. You should be able to change the plot to general to switch from scientific.

      Thanks for the answers in the end I solved with manual calculation ...
      
      (From Solidworks always does everything to disappoint, I have more and more the impression of having bought a "demo" being improved, this is one of the reasons why we, after four years of renovations, we decided to stop at version 2012.)
      
      Aside from that, I thank you for your help, see you soon! : D

        simxpress and the other xpress tools are far from demos, they still help lots of people solve lots of problems. but its true there are more fully featured versions in other versions of solidworks. for example solidworks premium allows you to do all that we discussed. and it should be noted, simxpress has been the same since i started using it with 2004 (and actually more features) so at least no features have been removed or not been made clear in advance.

        ... but I have solidworks premium 2012 ...
        maybe i do not understand something or I wrong something?
        There are more then Simulation Express in my solidworks premium 2012?
        
        Could you give me step-step help?

        OK!! Perfect,
        Now i try to learn how to use full simulation package
        
        Tnk's
