Evaluating the model results
Evaluating the model results
(OP)
This is pretty incredible software for the price!
I created a model of a Locost car (1"sq. steel tube frame) and am pleased with the results, the chassis stiffness in ft-lb/degree are reasonable. I have a question about how to best evaluate the various views and output tables so that I can make the best choices in improving the design. The problem would be very similar to evaluating the Bridge.fem static model in the sample directories. I've done Rank&Color using Energy, Axis forces, Origin forces, etc. as well as View Internal Loads, etc. etc. Which tools would one use to best decide what to do to improve the stiffness of the bridge and to do it in an efficient way, making as few changes as is practical?
Thanks for your help,
