Impossed Displacement- Leaf Srping Analysis

Altair Forum User

I am trying to do a analysis for load prediction to deflect a leafspring for known material, Spring design and specified Deflection. I am intrested to know the force applied to deflect the leaf spring by 200 mm. For reference check attached image. A Swift response is appreciated. kindly let me know how to use hypermesh tools for the same.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Paramveer,

 

It appears to me that you just need to apply an enforced displacement of 200 mm (using the spcd card, see the topics in this forum that discusses how to apply spcd) 

In your input deck you will also need to request SPC forces, this will out put the forces as a result type at the constraints, this will then be the applied force due to the static equilibrium.
