loading part of circular hole
loading part of circular hole
(OP)
hi
i have modeled a "lifting log" as a plate(25mm tick.) with a 50mm hole in it for wire rope, what is the best method of loading to simulate the force exerted from rope to the hole in their contact area? if i want to use pressure loading ,how i should "select" the contact area of wire rope and hole?

RE: loading part of circular hole
i think because not all the hole area is in contact with rope it is better two apply pressure only on one half of the hole area.you can apply constant pressure or a variable pressure which is maximum in the middle of the hole half area and minimum at two corners.i think using variable pressure yields better results,also you can use contact elements.
