Hi,

I'm doing a load a simulation study - static using solidworks 2015 - Premium.

The study works on single components, but fails on the assembly.

There are no interferences in the assembly.

The failure is on a pivot\hinge connection in the assembly.

Where can I find further details\guidance on the connections types and when to use them?
The assembly has been produced by adding components using mates ect - would it be better using more sub-assemblies?

and do I need to use connections between two components that have been assembled using mates ?

Greg

  "At least two bodies are interfering. Do you want to check interference?" Yes/No
  
  Followed by
  
  "Meshing Failed - Terminating analysis."

    İf bodies are interfering you can not create mesh.You should re arrange assembly without interference.
    
    ONLY with shrink fit contact definiton you can create mesh interfering bodies.

it may be 1 part but is it multiple bodies? that is the only way you can get interference

Guys,

This is the assembly before the"Run This Study" is used....

And these are the errors...

Then the meshing fails and analysis is terminated.
I'm going to be trying the same in each sub assembly next.

  if you use check interferences and enable the option to check bodies, does it report no interferences?

  Yes I think it will be, maybe self teaching FEA is a bit over ambitious !
  
  Thanks.

    V.useful, although for some reason when in "Contact Sets" with "Automatically find contact sets" and "Non-touching faces" selected the
    "Find contact sets" does not find antthing ? (and meshing fails).
    
    I just found the simplify mesh option, with default settings, 8 results are found
