Mechanica Deformed Model

[feisthammela]

Does anyone know if it is possible to export a 1:1 scale deformed part model from the Mechanica results? I am working with a snap fit part that might have clearance issues in it's deformed position, and the part is too complicated to model accurately as deformed.

I think there is no direct output. The mesh file might help. But this is not a solid modell.

You can create somes datum point with some mesures in the area of interest, and after bring those points in your model and re-model according with those points...- I don't thing it will help you a lot, but it can give you one firt step to something more complicated.

Try exporting a VRML out of the Mechanica result window. This file can then be inserted back into your model. (Insert > Shared Data > From File)

Hello Feisthammela,
I have Mechanica-motion and i can not run the analysis.
I found on website that I need to configure env variable.
could you please let me know how you configure MM_C_HOME variale to read the C++ compilor.

Thanks,
