COSMOS of Assembly
COSMOS of Assembly
(OP)
I read in the help file that you can run Cosmos Express on an assembly only after running physical dynamics on the assy. I do not understand how I would run physical dynamics on a piece of plate steel that is resting on 4 edges of concrete (2" overlap) with no support in the middle. I need to simulate vehicle weight (resting) on the plate to check for the amount of plate deflection. Would I use the gravity option?






RE: COSMOS of Assembly
Max Deflection = iWb^2/Et^3
where
a = longest side of plate
b = shortest side of plate
a/b 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0 inf
i .1267 .1478 .1621 .1715 .1770 .1805 .1851
W = weight
E = mod of elasticity
t = thickness
Hope this helps

You could then use split lines to create new model faces to which you can apply your restraints and loads.
