Hi, how i can simulate a deformation caused by an acceleration on solidworks simulation tool. I want to apply a gravity force and an acceleration force perpendicular to gravity force and find resultant displacement. I want to be able to set acceleration and if possibile also simulate a very rapid deceleration similar(or equal) to a collision.
Yaro,
That's fairly easy. Just multiply your 'G' force by whatever factor (multiple) of gravity you need. If you are accelerating at 2 Gs then multiply by 2. If you have remote loads identified then you will need to multiply each of them as well since 'G' only works on mass.
If you are decelerating then change direction or multiply by a negative factor.
