Hi I am wanting to know peoples opinions and suggestions on different analysis techniques on the following structure...
View attachment 2789
This is for my thesis and I completed the practical "real life" experiment today at uni and measured displacement at certain nodes and strain in 9 of the members.
Now my aim is to replicate my prac experiment as best as possible on Pro/E and simulate it as accurately as possible in Mechanica, to 'hopefully' get the same results as practice.
Please provide ANY information you think may help in simulating this as accurately possible.
- I will not be simulating the assembly, just the chassis.prt file
- The two rear constraints are a single bolt each side (pin joint)
- The front support is just a flange with the member resting on it
I highly appreciate the feedback.
Cheers.
