Hi,
i have a model of compliant pantograph(1mm thickness), i want to set up an analysis where output link is in contact with blocks of different weight. So I created a block of dimensions 40mm*40mm*25mm (156gm mass)placed in contact with the output link. i meshed the pantograph model in hypermesh and then i created a block which is in contact with output link in hypermesh.the block and input link are constrained to move only in y direction.when force is applied at the input link the output link displaces the block horizontally( in y direction).

 

How would I progress further?


For reference I am trying to construct an additional module for Differential Scanning Calorimeter like this one http://www.linseis.com/en/our-products/differential-scanning-calorimetry/dsc-pt1000/

 

Best Regards

    Hi,

    Your end objective is not clear to me. If you can share more information it would be nice.Hope you would tried to run Structural analysis and output you got as stress, displacement.
