Hi, is there the possibility besides measurement of total force and torque acting on a geometry, to display the force vector? kind regards Joshua
Hello All, My question could be basic for many but I would need a guidance to start on this. I have a 35 tonnes tractor model having two-wheels on each side front and rear. It has to take a sharp turn of 90 degrees within its prescribed radius. For steering it articulates from the center. I would like to know, what method…
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has managed to successfully use the modes calculated in a modal analysis as an input for a random response analysis. Every time I try to run it, I get an error saying “current model does not match the database from the EIGVSAVE”. This is despite using the exact same model. Thank you.

no matter what setting, I have, I cant stop attached parts from going through each other by some amount. There is a bearing pushing on a lever, making the lever rotate.
"Test" in SM_PM_OR_nPh ans SM_PM_IR_nPh are disabled. we are unable to perform test for n-phase motors. Need support in the test of nph motor design in flux motor
This post explains using Inspire to parameterize the geometry, then importing the parameterized model into EDEM, and finally coupling it with HyperStudy. I understand all the steps up to this point. However, I’m confused about the part where the parameterized geometry is imported into EDEM and then coupled with MotionView.…
Hi, I just wanted to confirm exactly what results the .force file presented compared to visualising the results in a .h3d via Hyperview? For example, I was under the impression that if you gave an element a defined MCID that this is what the .force output file would generate results with respect to. However, when I check…
Hello, If I am adding 142kPa Surcharge Load in model as Tank load on Mat Foundation, why my Soil bearing capacity demand is 3-4 times more than total downward surcharge load + self wt of pad. When I am applying load as point load in centre instead of surcharge load my soil bearing check is ok.
